A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around fremden (IPA [ˈfʁɛmdn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,035 among 3,474 “F” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for fremden, with forms such as "fermden", "ffremden", and "fredmen". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 16 confusable-pair relationships, "freuen", "Freude", "Frieden", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is fremden, spelled F-R-E-M-D-E-N.
