A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around exécrable (IPA \ɛɡ.ze.kʁabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #30,154 among 3,255 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for exécrable, with forms such as "excérable", "execrable", and "exxécrable". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is exécrable, spelled E-X-É-C-R-A-B-L-E.
