A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around Iserlohn (IPA [iːzɐˈloːn]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #18,293 among 1,488 “I” headwords. Dominant gloss: "eine Stadt in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland".

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Iserlohn, with forms such as "iesrlohn", "iselrohn", and "iserlhon". 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. This headword has no recorded confusable partner, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 Iserlohn, spelled I-S-E-R-L-O-H-N.
