A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around lexical (IPA \lɛk.si.kal\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #36,029 among 2,567 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for lexical, with forms such as "elxical", "leixcal", and "lexcial". 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, "lexicale", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct French form is lexical, spelled L-E-X-I-C-A-L.
