A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around Wisconsin (IPA \wis.kɔn.sin\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #23,418 among 549 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Wisconsin, with forms such as "iwsconsin", "wicsonsin", and "wiscconsin". 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. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is Wisconsin, spelled W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N.
