The generator records 16 spelling variants around implication (IPA \ɛ̃.pli.ka.sjɔ̃\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #7,195 among 3,561 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for implication, with forms such as "imlpication", "immplication", and "impilcation".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "implications", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
