A misspelling magnet
The generator records 17 spelling variants around erfolgreich (IPA [ɛɐ̯ˈfɔlkʁaɪ̯ç]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,156 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Dominant gloss: "reich an Erfolgen".
Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for erfolgreich, with forms such as "efrolgreich", "erffolgreich", and "erflogreich".

It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "erfolgreiche", "erfolgreichen", "erfolgreicher", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is erfolgreich, spelled E-R-F-O-L-G-R-E-I-C-H.
