Wo “führende” in der deutschen Häufigkeit sitzt
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around führende (IPA [ˈfyːʁəndə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #6,796 among 3,474 “F” headwords. Wiktionary lists 11 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for führende, with forms such as "fführende", "fhürende", and "fühernde". 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 8 confusable-pair relationships, "führenden", "Führender", "führendes", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is führende, spelled F-Ü-H-R-E-N-D-E.
