Hi,
In addition when it can't find a good suggestion using the edit distance
rule, it attempts an ngram search (scoring words based on the length of
identical substrings between two words) to try to handle cases with edit
distance of 2 or more.
Details can be found in the hunspell code (or in older spellcheckers like
MySpell).

yes along with the edit distance it also uses some replacement rules that
is
present in the *.aff file that starts with TRY and REP key words. you can
read more about it from the hunspell project manuals at :
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=29374&group_id=143754
hope it will answer your questions.
with regards
