## About "father" in BIP39

- "father" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"fath"**, already identify it, because **"fat"** also begins [fat](/bip39-word/fat/), [fatal](/bip39-word/fatal/) and [fatigue](/bip39-word/fatigue/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [fat](/bip39-word/fat/). Write "father" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
