## About "taste" in BIP39

- "taste" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"tast"**, already identify it, because **"tas"** also begins [task](/bip39-word/task/).
- **"tast"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tasto in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "taste" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #18 (word 8 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
