A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around millésime (IPA \mil.le.zim\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #20,198 among 202,672 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 6 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for millésime, with forms such as "imllésime", "millesime", and "millséime". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, 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 millésime, spelled M-I-L-L-É-S-I-M-E.
