A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around Montevideo (IPA \mɔn.te.vi.de.o\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #39,406 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Capitale de l’Uruguay.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Montevideo, with forms such as "mmontevideo", "mnotevideo", and "monetvideo". 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. Our dataset records no confusable match here, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Montevideo, spelled M-O-N-T-E-V-I-D-E-O.
