A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around inflexible (IPA [ĩɱflekˈsiβ̞le]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #34,627 among 3,428 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for inflexible, with forms such as "ifnlexible", "infelxible", and "infflexible". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Spanish form is inflexible, spelled I-N-F-L-E-X-I-B-L-E.
