A misspelling magnet

The generator records 8 spelling variants around diante (IPA /ˈdjɐ̃.tɨ/), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #1,190 among 1,193 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for diante, with forms such as "dainte", "ddiante", and "dianet". 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 6 confusable-pair relationships, "doente", "durante", "distante", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is diante, spelled D-I-A-N-T-E.
