Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for passado, with forms such as "apssado", "pasado", and "pasasdo".

It also participates in 9 confusable-pair relationships, "passar", "pesado", "passeio", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
