## About "sorry" in BIP39

- "sorry" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"sorr"**, already identify it, because **"sor"** also begins [sort](/bip39-word/sort/).
- **"sorr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins sorriso in the [Italian list](/italian/) and sorrir in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
