A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around texan (IPA \tɛk.sɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #34,328 among 3,703 “T” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Relatif au Texas, à ses habitants et à leur culture.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for texan, with forms such as "etxan", "teaxn", and "texann". 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 17 confusable-pair relationships, "than", "Text", "tian", 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 explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is texan, spelled T-E-X-A-N.
