Current Behavior

When choosing a preset such as the homerow preset for colemak in the word filter mode using English 1K in custom, certain words that have different spellings in English (such as tire) change spelling (from tire to tyre), no longer using only the letters in the home row.

Expected Behavior

Words that do follow the word filter should not be present.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Go to custom mode
  2. Press change
  3. Go to words filter
  4. Choose English 1K, Home Row and Colemak
  5. Press generate and set
  6. Look for the word tire
  7. Click Ok
  8. Look and see that the word tire has been replaced with tyre

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through custom mode's Words filter with English 1K, Home Row, and Colemak, then trace the preset generation and spelling-selection path. Done means alternate spellings such as “tyre” are excluded when they do not satisfy the selected home-row filter, while valid words remain available.
