A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around índice (IPA [ˈĩn̪d̪ise]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #2,915 among 23 “Í” headwords. Wiktionary lists 10 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for índice, with forms such as "nídice", "ídnice", and "índcie". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "indio", "Indie", "indios", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Spanish form is índice, spelled Í-N-D-I-C-E.
