## About "exact" in BIP39

- "exact" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"exac"**, already identify it, because **"exa"** also begins [example](/bip39-word/example/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #758 (index 757), not #627\. A wallet set to French reads "exact" as **01011110101** instead of **01001110010**, and decodes index 626 as "édifier".
- **"exac"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins exacto in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
