Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for stupid, with forms such as "sstupid", "stpuid", and "sttupid".

It also participates in 4 confusable-pair relationships, "supi", "studi", "Studie", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
