## About "guide" in BIP39

- "guide" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"guid"**, already identify it, because **"gui"** also begins [guilt](/bip39-word/guilt/) and [guitar](/bip39-word/guitar/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #954 (index 953), not #829\. A wallet set to French reads "guide" as **01110111001** instead of **01100111100**, and decodes index 828 as "financer".
- **"guid"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins guidare in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
