A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around Superlative (IPA [ˈzuːpɐlatiːvə]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #44,956 among 8,027 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for Superlative, with forms such as "spuerlative", "ssuperlative", and "sueprlative". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
