A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around Tarascon (IPA \ta.ʁas.kɔ̃\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #41,036 among 3,703 “T” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Tarascon, with forms such as "atrascon", "taarscon", and "taracson". 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. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is Tarascon, spelled T-A-R-A-S-C-O-N.
