A misspelling magnet
The generator records 7 spelling variants around exclu (IPA \ɛks.kly\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #6,393 among 3,255 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for exclu, with forms such as "ecxlu", "excclu", and "excllu". 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 12 confusable-pair relationships, "exil", "exilé", "exclus", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is exclu, spelled E-X-C-L-U.
