A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around Reiz (IPA [ʁaɪ̯t͡s]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #9,613 among 2,984 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Reiz, with forms such as "eriz", "reizz", and "rezi". 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, "ri", "RZ", "Rio", 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 easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is Reiz, spelled R-E-I-Z.
