A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around enfoncé (IPA \ɑ̃.fɔ̃.se\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #18,737 among 3,255 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for enfoncé, with forms such as "efnoncé", "enffoncé", and "enfnocé". 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 11 confusable-pair relationships, "énoncé", "énoncés", "énoncer", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists 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 enfoncé, spelled E-N-F-O-N-C-É.
