A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around allgemeine (IPA [ˌalɡəˈmaɪ̯nə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,755 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for allgemeine, with forms such as "algemeine", "alglemeine", and "allegmeine". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "allgemeinen", "allgemeines", "allgemeiner", 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 its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is allgemeine, spelled A-L-L-G-E-M-E-I-N-E.
