Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for belong, with forms such as "bbelong", "bellong", and "belnog".

It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "blog", "below", "beyond", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
