A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around digital (IPA /di.ʒi.ˈtaɫ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #953 among 1,193 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for digital, with forms such as "ddigital", "dgiital", and "diggital". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 2 confusable-pair relationships, "dígito", "distal", 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, 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 digital, spelled D-I-G-I-T-A-L.
