Our Hunspell-derived misspelling index lists 13 documented wrong-spelling variants for anything, with forms such as "annything", "antyhing", and "anyhting". Each variant represents a distinct typo pattern that appears often enough in corpora to be worth flagging, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct French form is anything, spelled A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
