A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around Fürst (IPA [fʏʁst]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #5,834 among 3,474 “F” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Fürst, with forms such as "ffürst", "früst", and "fürrst". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "Furz", "fury", "fusse", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 Fürst, spelled F-Ü-R-S-T.
