A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around working (IPA /ˈwɝ.kɪŋ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #13,866 among 110 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for working, with forms such as "owrking", "wokring", and "worikng". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct Portuguese form is working, spelled W-O-R-K-I-N-G.
