A misspelling magnet

The generator records 6 spelling variants around varié (IPA \va.ʁje\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #12,083 among 2,061 “V” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for varié, with forms such as "avrié", "vairé", and "varrié". 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, "vie", "voie", "vire", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is varié, spelled V-A-R-I-É.
