Frequência do íman ortográfico “yellow”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 7 spelling variants around yellow (IPA /ˈjɛloʊ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #26,247 among 26 “Y” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for yellow, with forms such as "eyllow", "yelloww", and "yellwo". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is yellow, spelled Y-E-L-L-O-W.
