Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for good is neighbouring look-alikes ("gota", "grow", …), not just typos; it is anadjective pronounced /gʊd/. Frequency #4,562 among 521 “G” headwords. Gloss: "bom".
Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for good, with forms such as "ggood", "godo", and "goodd". 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 12 confusable-pair relationships, "gota", "grow", "gordo", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct Portuguese form is good, spelled G-O-O-D.
