A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around aperitivo (IPA /ɐ.pɨ.ɾi.ˈti.vu/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #26,964 among 4,352 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for aperitivo, with forms such as "aepritivo", "apeirtivo", and "aperiitvo". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
