## About "route" in BIP39

- "route" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"rout"**, already identify it, because **"rou"** also begins [rough](/bip39-word/rough/) and [round](/bip39-word/round/).
- **"rout"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins routine in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
