A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around Riom (IPA \ʁjɔ̃\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #33,440 among 5,742 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Riom, with forms such as "irom", "rimo", and "riomm".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "RM", "roi", "roy", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
