A misspelling magnet
The generator records 14 spelling variants around important (IPA [ɪmpɔʁˈtant]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #32,603 among 1,488 “I” headwords. Dominant gloss: "bedeutend, wichtig".
Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for important, with forms such as "immportant", "imoprtant", and "imporatnt". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is important, spelled I-M-P-O-R-T-A-N-T.
