A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around ajedrez (IPA [axeˈð̞ɾes]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #8,213 among 7,704 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

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.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Spanish form is ajedrez, spelled A-J-E-D-R-E-Z.
