A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around confuses (IPA \kɔ̃.fyz\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #40,193 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Féminin pluriel de confus.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for confuses, with forms such as "cconfuses", "cnofuses", and "cofnuses". 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 10 confusable-pair relationships, "connues", "conques", "conquises", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, 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 confuses, spelled C-O-N-F-U-S-E-S.
