Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for dispensável, with forms such as "ddispensável", "dipsensável", and "disepnsável". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
