Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „genügend“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around genügend (IPA [ɡəˈnyːɡn̩t]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,767 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for genügend, with forms such as "egnügend", "gengüend", and "gennügend". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "Gegend", "genüge", "genügen", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, 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 genügend, spelled G-E-N-Ü-G-E-N-D.
