Frequência do íman ortográfico “capaz”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 7 spelling variants around capaz (IPA /kɐ.ˈpaʃ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,041 among 2,140 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for capaz, with forms such as "acpaz", "caapz", and "capazz". 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, "casa", "cara", "copa", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct Portuguese form is capaz, spelled C-A-P-A-Z.
