A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for kürzester, with forms such as "kkürzester", "krüzester", and "kürezster". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "kürzeste", "kürzerer", "kürzesten", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, 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 kürzester, spelled K-Ü-R-Z-E-S-T-E-R.
