## About "example" in BIP39

- "example" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"exam"**, already identify it, because **"exa"** also begins [exact](/bip39-word/exact/).
- **"exam"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins examen in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and examinar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
