A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around Tokyo (IPA /ˈtoʊ.ki.oʊ/), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #13,573 among 3,005 “T” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Tokio, Tokío.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Tokyo, with forms such as "otkyo", "tkoyo", and "tokkyo". 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, "too", "toy", "tuyo", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Spanish form is Tokyo, spelled T-O-K-Y-O.
