A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around ingrat (IPA \ɛ̃.ɡʁa\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #20,469 among 3,561 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for ingrat, with forms such as "ignrat", "ingart", and "inggrat". 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 6 confusable-pair relationships, "INRA", "intra", "Ingrid", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is ingrat, spelled I-N-G-R-A-T.
