A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Minnesota (IPA [mɪnəˈzoːta]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #23,621 among 3,571 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Bundesstaat im Norden der USA".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Minnesota, with forms such as "imnnesota", "minensota", and "minesota". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. Our dataset records no confusable match here, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Minnesota, spelled M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A.
