A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around tóxico (IPA [ˈt̪oksiko]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #13,578 among 3,005 “T” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for tóxico, with forms such as "ttóxico", "txóico", and "tóixco". 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 19 confusable-pair relationships, "toxina", "tóxicos", "trópico", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
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 tóxico, spelled T-Ó-X-I-C-O.
