## About "problem" in BIP39

- "problem" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"prob"**, already identify it, because **"pro"** also begins 12 other words, among them [process](/bip39-word/process/), [produce](/bip39-word/produce/), [profit](/bip39-word/profit/) and [program](/bip39-word/program/).
- **"prob"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins problème in the [French list](/french/), probar in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), problema in the [Italian list](/italian/) and probudit in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
