## About "winter" in BIP39

- "winter" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"wint"**, already identify it, because **"win"** also begins [win](/bip39-word/win/), [window](/bip39-word/window/), [wine](/bip39-word/wine/), [wing](/bip39-word/wing/), [wink](/bip39-word/wink/) and [winner](/bip39-word/winner/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [win](/bip39-word/win/). Write "winter" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
