A misspelling magnet

The generator records 6 spelling variants around vexé (IPA \vɛk.se\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #22,731 among 2,061 “V” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Froissé, chagriné, dépité.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for vexé, with forms such as "evxé", "vexe", and "vexxé".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "vie", "vue", "vox", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
