A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around Luxemburg (IPA [ˈlʊksm̩ˌbʊʁk]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #4,809 among 2,640 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Luxemburg, with forms such as "lluxemburg", "luexmburg", and "luxebmurg". 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 4 confusable-pair relationships, "Luxemburgs", "Luxemburger", "Lüneburg", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Luxemburg, spelled L-U-X-E-M-B-U-R-G.
