Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for LGBT, with forms such as "glbt", "lbgt", and "lgbbt".

It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "lit", "lobo", "lift", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
