Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for Durchfall, with forms such as "ddurchfall", "druchfall", and "ducrhfall". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
