A misspelling magnet

The generator records 6 spelling variants around agile (IPA [aˈɡiːlə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #28,987 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for agile, with forms such as "aggile", "agiel", and "agille". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 12 confusable-pair relationships, "ale", "alle", "Arie", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is agile, spelled A-G-I-L-E.
