A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around invariable (IPA \ɛ̃.va.ʁjabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #49,739 among 3,561 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for invariable, with forms such as "inavriable", "innvariable", and "invairable". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "insatiable", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is invariable, spelled I-N-V-A-R-I-A-B-L-E.
