A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around Belgrade (IPA \bɛl.ɡʁad\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #17,632 among 4,251 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Belgrade, with forms such as "bbelgrade", "beglrade", and "belgarde". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
