Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for pentagone, with forms such as "epntagone", "penatgone", and "penntagone". 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, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
