A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around appelant (IPA \a.plɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #8,653 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for appelant, with forms such as "apelant", "apeplant", and "appealnt".

It also participates in 8 confusable-pair relationships, "appuyant", "appelons", "appellent", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is appelant, spelled A-P-P-E-L-A-N-T.
