## About "tent" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "tent": **"ten"** also begins [ten](/bip39-word/ten/), [tenant](/bip39-word/tenant/) and [tennis](/bip39-word/tennis/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [ten](/bip39-word/ten/). Write "tent" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"tent"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tentacolo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and tentar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
