Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for lego, with forms such as "elgo", "leggo", and "leog". 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 also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "lo", "les", "ley", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Spanish form is lego, spelled L-E-G-O.
