Wo “deutlich” in der deutschen Häufigkeit sitzt
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around deutlich (IPA [ˈdɔɪ̯tlɪç]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #429 among 2,764 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for deutlich, with forms such as "ddeutlich", "detulich", and "deultich". 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 6 confusable-pair relationships, "Deutsch", "deutliche", "deutlicher", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Our source data has no etymology on file 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 deutlich, spelled D-E-U-T-L-I-C-H.
