A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around Broadway (IPA \bʁɔd.we\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #15,317 among 4,251 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Broadway, with forms such as "bbroadway", "boradway", and "braodway".

This headword has no recorded confusable partner, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is Broadway, spelled B-R-O-A-D-W-A-Y.
