Frequência do íman ortográfico “mentiroso”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 13 spelling variants around mentiroso, anadjective. Corpus frequency is #10,560 among 1,087 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for mentiroso, with forms such as "emntiroso", "menitroso", and "menntiroso". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Portuguese form is mentiroso, spelled M-E-N-T-I-R-O-S-O.
