## About "excess" in BIP39

- "excess" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"exce"**, already identify it, because **"exc"** also begins [exchange](/bip39-word/exchange/), [excite](/bip39-word/excite/), [exclude](/bip39-word/exclude/) and [excuse](/bip39-word/excuse/).
- **"exce"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins exceller in the [French list](/french/), exceso in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and excesso in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
