A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around algèbre (IPA \al.ʒɛbʁ\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #21,839 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for algèbre, with forms such as "aglèbre", "algbère", and "algebre". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "alger", "altéré", "Algérie", 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 French form is algèbre, spelled A-L-G-È-B-R-E.
