A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around multiple (IPA [mʊlˈtiːplə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #16,785 among 44,424 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for multiple, with forms such as "mlutiple", "mmultiple", and "mulitple". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is multiple, spelled M-U-L-T-I-P-L-E.
