Our generated misspelling index lists 19 likely wrong-spelling variants for Aschaffenburg, with forms such as "acshaffenburg", "ascahffenburg", and "ascchaffenburg". 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. Our dataset records no confusable match here, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
