## About "similar" in BIP39

- "similar" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"simi"**, already identify it, because **"sim"** also begins [simple](/bip39-word/simple/).
- **"simi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins simio in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
