A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around blessé (IPA \blɛ.se\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,113 among 4,251 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for blessé, with forms such as "bblessé", "belssé", and "blesse". 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 18 confusable-pair relationships, "bleus", "bleue", "bosse", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is blessé, spelled B-L-E-S-S-É.
