## About "strike" in BIP39

- "strike" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"stri"**, already identify it, because **"str"** also begins [strategy](/bip39-word/strategy/), [street](/bip39-word/street/), [strong](/bip39-word/strong/) and [struggle](/bip39-word/struggle/).
- **"stri"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins strict in the [French list](/french/) and stridulo in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
