Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „pink“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 6 spelling variants around pink (IPA [pɪŋk]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #7,517 among 3,409 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "von einem intensiven, grellen rosa Farbton; die Farbe eines kräftigen, grellen Rosas habend".
Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for pink, with forms such as "ipnk", "pikn", and "pinkk". 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 also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "PK", "PKK", "Pis", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
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 pink, spelled P-I-N-K.
