A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around Roger (IPA \ʁɔ.ʒe\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #3,502 among 5,742 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Roger, with forms such as "orger", "rgoer", and "roegr". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "rôle", "Rome", "rose", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is Roger, spelled R-O-G-E-R.
