A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around interné (IPA \ɛ̃.tɛʁ.ne\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #31,086 among 3,561 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for interné, with forms such as "inetrné", "innterné", and "intenré". 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 16 confusable-pair relationships, "inverse", "Internet", "internés", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
