Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for teck, with forms such as "etck", "tcek", and "tecck". 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 also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "TK", "tes", "tél", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
