Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Dschungel, with forms such as "dcshungel", "ddschungel", and "dscchungel". 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 tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
