A misspelling magnet
The generator records 13 spelling variants around utilisent (IPA \y.ti.liz\), averb. Corpus frequency is #3,425 among 456 “U” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

It also participates in 13 confusable-pair relationships, "utiliser", "utilisés", "utilisez", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
