Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Avantgarde, with forms such as "aavntgarde", "avangtarde", and "avanntgarde". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
