A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around simples (IPA /ˈsĩ.plɨʃ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #729 among 1,185 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 7 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for simples, with forms such as "ismples", "simlpes", and "simmples". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct Portuguese form is simples, spelled S-I-M-P-L-E-S.
