Frequency seat of misspelling magnet “rushed”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 9 spelling variants around rushed (IPA /ɹʌʃt/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #7,387 among 3,094 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for rushed, with forms such as "rrushed", "rsuhed", and "ruhsed". 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 13 confusable-pair relationships, "rushes", "Russel", "rusher", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct English form is rushed, spelled R-U-S-H-E-D.
