A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around irradiated, anadjective. Corpus frequency is #31,619 among 2,140 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for irradiated, with forms such as "iradiated", "irardiated", and "irradaited". 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 tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct English form is irradiated, spelled I-R-R-A-D-I-A-T-E-D.
