A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Gewinn, with forms such as "egwinn", "geiwnn", and "gewin".

It also participates in 15 confusable-pair relationships, "gewiss", "gewinnt", "gewinne", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
