A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for tangará, with forms such as "atngará", "tagnará", and "tanagrá". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "tanga", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is tangará, spelled T-A-N-G-A-R-Á.
