A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for reader, with forms such as "erader", "raeder", and "readder". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "rêver", "ready", "ryder", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct French form is reader, spelled R-E-A-D-E-R.
