A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for genügte, with forms such as "egnügte", "gengüte", and "gennügte".

It also participates in 11 confusable-pair relationships, "geübte", "gerügt", "gewagte", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, 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 genügte, spelled G-E-N-Ü-G-T-E.
