A misspelling magnet

The generator records 8 spelling variants around álcool (IPA /ˈaɫ.kwɔɫ/), anoun. Corpus frequency is #3,300 among 25 “Á” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for álcool, with forms such as "lácool", "áclool", and "álccool". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is álcool, spelled Á-L-C-O-O-L.
