A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around Oregon (IPA \ɔ.ʁe.ɡɔ̃\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #21,414 among 1,642 “O” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Un des cinquante États des États-Unis d’Amérique (code postal OR), bordé par l’État de Washington au nord, l’Idaho à l’est, le Nevada au sud-est, la Californie au sud-ouest, et l’océan Pacifique No...".
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Oregon, with forms such as "oergon", "oreggon", and "oregno". 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 6 confusable-pair relationships, "orion", "orson", "orton", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
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 Oregon, spelled O-R-E-G-O-N.
