A misspelling magnet

The generator records 15 spelling variants around supportable (IPA \sy.pɔʁ.tabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #23,703 among 6,032 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for supportable, with forms such as "spuportable", "ssupportable", and "supoprtable". 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. Our dataset records no confusable match here, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is supportable, spelled S-U-P-P-O-R-T-A-B-L-E.
