A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around suspect (IPA \sys.pɛ\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #4,530 among 6,032 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for suspect, with forms such as "ssupect", "ssuspect", and "supsect". 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 8 confusable-pair relationships, "suspens", "suspend", "suspects", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is suspect, spelled S-U-S-P-E-C-T.
