Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for immortel, with forms such as "immoretl", "immorrtel", and "immortell". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "importe", "importer", "importée", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
