Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for core, with forms such as "ccore", "coer", and "corre".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "cry", "cru", "cos", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
