Wo “Megawatt” in der deutschen Häufigkeit sitzt
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around Megawatt (IPA [ˈmeːɡaˌvat]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #34,256 among 3,571 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "eine Million Watt".
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for Megawatt, with forms such as "emgawatt", "meagwatt", and "megaawtt". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
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 Megawatt, spelled M-E-G-A-W-A-T-T.
