Where “Charlemagne” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 17 spelling variants around Charlemagne (IPA \ʃaʁ.lə.maɲ\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #13,340 among 257,141 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for Charlemagne, with forms such as "cahrlemagne", "ccharlemagne", and "chalremagne". 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. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Charlemagne, spelled C-H-A-R-L-E-M-A-G-N-E.
