A misspelling magnet
The generator records 6 spelling variants around quote (IPA \kwot\), averb. Corpus frequency is #20,831 among 352 “Q” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for quote, with forms such as "qoute", "qquote", and "quoet". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 13 confusable-pair relationships, "que", "quoi", "quot", and more, 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, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is quote, spelled Q-U-O-T-E.
