A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around cardiaque (IPA \kaʁ.djak\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #4,837 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for cardiaque, with forms such as "acrdiaque", "cadriaque", and "cardaique". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "cardiaques", 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 spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is cardiaque, spelled C-A-R-D-I-A-Q-U-E.
