Frequency seat of misspelling magnet “positioned”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 14 spelling variants around positioned, anadjective. Corpus frequency is #9,796 among 4,417 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Being in a particular position; (figuratively) suitable.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for positioned, with forms such as "opsitioned", "poistioned", and "posiitoned". 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. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "positions", "position", "positional", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct English form is positioned, spelled P-O-S-I-T-I-O-N-E-D.
