A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around erzielen (IPA [ɛɐ̯ˈt͡siːlən]), averb. Corpus frequency is #4,195 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for erzielen, with forms such as "erizelen", "errzielen", and "erzeilen". 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 9 confusable-pair relationships, "erzielt", "erzielte", "erzielten", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

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 erzielen, spelled E-R-Z-I-E-L-E-N.
