A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around gradué (IPA \ɡʁa.dɥe\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #44,482 among 2,617 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for gradué, with forms such as "gardué", "ggradué", and "graddué". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "grue", "grau", "grave", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is gradué, spelled G-R-A-D-U-É.
