The generator records 8 spelling variants around quelles (IPA \kɛl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,932 among 352 “Q” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Féminin pluriel de quel.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for quelles, with forms such as "qeulles", "qquelles", and "quelels".

It also participates in 10 confusable-pair relationships, "quels", "queues", "quêtes", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
