A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around offene (IPA [ˈɔfənə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,672 among 1,007 “O” headwords. Wiktionary lists 11 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

It also participates in 14 confusable-pair relationships, "öffne", "öffnen", "öffnet", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
