A misspelling magnet
The generator records 7 spelling variants around Tokyo (IPA \to.kjo\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #4,898 among 3,703 “T” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Tokyo, with forms such as "otkyo", "tkoyo", and "tokkyo". 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 12 confusable-pair relationships, "too", "toy", "Tony", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Tokyo, spelled T-O-K-Y-O.
