The generator records 16 spelling variants around abrutschen (IPA [ˈapˌʁʊt͡ʃn̩]), averb. Corpus frequency is #40,362 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for abrutschen, with forms such as "abbrutschen", "abrrutschen", and "abrtuschen". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is abrutschen, spelled A-B-R-U-T-S-C-H-E-N.
