Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for super, with forms such as "spuer", "ssuper", and "suepr".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "sur", "sure", "supp", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct French form is super, spelled S-U-P-E-R.
