Frequência do íman ortográfico “regular”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around regular (IPA /Rɨ.ɡu.ˈlaɾ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,285 among 963 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for regular, with forms such as "ergular", "reggular", and "regluar". 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 10 confusable-pair relationships, "revelar", "rotular", "resultar", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is regular, spelled R-E-G-U-L-A-R.
