Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for sporadique, with forms such as "psoradique", "sopradique", and "spoardique".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "sporadiques", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
