Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for adulé, with forms such as "addulé", "adlué", and "adule".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ale", "allé", "aube", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is adulé, spelled A-D-U-L-É.
