sionnach commented on the list things-go-better-with-some
This list is mainly for adjectives, so I'm not including words like chromosome and ribosome.
There is something discombobulating about the suffix some -- when I gaze upon the list, most of the words start to appear misspelled to me. Normally my spelling instincts are reasonably good, and not prone to creeping doubts, but this list weirds me out after a while.

A winsome and handsome list!
(I see what you mean about the orthographical illusion, though!)

Lithesome has always given me trouble. It sounds like the opposite of what it means. Plus, as you say, it just doesn't appear to be spelled correctly.
