A misspelling magnet

The generator records 8 spelling variants around liquid (IPA /ˈlɪkwɪd/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #40,226 among 581 “L” headwords. Dominant gloss: "líquido".

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for liquid, with forms such as "ilquid", "liqiud", and "liqquid". 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. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "líquido", "liquidar", "liquidez", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is liquid, spelled L-I-Q-U-I-D.
