## About "play" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "play": **"pla"** also begins [place](/bip39-word/place/), [planet](/bip39-word/planet/), [plastic](/bip39-word/plastic/) and [plate](/bip39-word/plate/).
- **"play"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins playa in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
