A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around kündigten (IPA [ˈkʏndɪçtn̩]), averb. Corpus frequency is #41,304 among 4,158 “K” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for kündigten, with forms such as "kkündigten", "knüdigten", and "küdnigten".

It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "Kundinnen", "kündigt", "kündige", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
