Where “Gloucester” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 15 spelling variants around Gloucester (IPA \ɡlu.stɛʁ\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #43,471 among 194,371 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Gloucester, with forms such as "ggloucester", "glloucester", and "glocuester". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Gloucester, spelled G-L-O-U-C-E-S-T-E-R.
