Frequency seat of misspelling magnet “patrolled”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around patrolled (IPA /pəˈtɹəʊld/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #32,961 among 4,417 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Having regular patrols.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for patrolled, with forms such as "aptrolled", "partolled", and "patorlled". 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.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct English form is patrolled, spelled P-A-T-R-O-L-L-E-D.
