Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „achtel“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 9 spelling variants around achtel (IPA [ˈaxtl̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #39,190 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "aus einem von acht gleich großen Teilen bestehend".
Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for achtel, with forms such as "acchtel", "achetl", and "achhtel". 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. It also participates in 10 confusable-pair relationships, "achten", "achtet", "Achter", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, 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 achtel, spelled A-C-H-T-E-L.
