A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around objet (IPA \ɔb.ʒɛ\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #672 among 1,642 “O” headwords. Wiktionary lists 14 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for objet, with forms such as "bojet", "obbjet", and "obejt". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "omet", "objets", "object", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 objet, spelled O-B-J-E-T.
