Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for ajedrez, with forms such as "aejdrez", "ajderez", and "ajeddrez". 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, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
