A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around requis (IPA \ʁə.ki\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #6,549 among 5,742 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for requis, with forms such as "erquis", "reqius", and "reqquis". 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, "reus", "revus", "revis", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is requis, spelled R-E-Q-U-I-S.
