Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „öffentlicher“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 17 spelling variants around öffentlicher (IPA [ˈœfn̩tlɪçɐ]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #6,032 among 53 “Ö” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for öffentlicher, with forms such as "föfentlicher", "öfefntlicher", and "öfentlicher". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "öffentliches", "ordentlicher", "öffentlich", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is öffentlicher, spelled Ö-F-F-E-N-T-L-I-C-H-E-R.
