Où “wiki” se place dans la fréquence du français
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 5 spelling variants around wiki (IPA \wi.ki\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #17,039 among 549 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for wiki, with forms such as "iwki", "wiik", and "wikki". 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, "win", "wil", "wok", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is wiki, spelled W-I-K-I.
