A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around desfazer (IPA /dɨʃ.fɐ.ˈzeɾ/), averb. Corpus frequency is #11,612 among 1,193 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for desfazer, with forms such as "ddesfazer", "defsazer", and "desafzer". 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, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Portuguese form is desfazer, spelled D-E-S-F-A-Z-E-R.
