Our generated misspelling index lists 20 likely wrong-spelling variants for incandescente, with forms such as "icnandescente", "inacndescente", and "incadnescente". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel.
