A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around härtere (IPA [ˈhɛʁtəʁə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #23,568 among 3,372 “H” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for härtere, with forms such as "hhärtere", "hrätere", and "häretre".

It also participates in 13 confusable-pair relationships, "hartes", "Harzer", "hintere", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is härtere, spelled H-Ä-R-T-E-R-E.
