A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around intoxicated (IPA /ɪnˈtɑksɪkeɪtɪd/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #18,595 among 2,140 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for intoxicated, with forms such as "inntoxicated", "inotxicated", and "intoixcated". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct English form is intoxicated, spelled I-N-T-O-X-I-C-A-T-E-D.
