A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around Gram (IPA [ɡʁaːm]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #39,975 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Dominant gloss: "tiefer Kummer".

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Gram, with forms such as "garm", "ggram", and "grma". 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, "GSM", "grün", "Graz", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 Gram, spelled G-R-A-M.
