Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for full, with forms such as "ffull", "flul", and "ful".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "fun", "fumo", "funk", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
