A misspelling magnet
The generator records 15 spelling variants around ungenügend (IPA [ˈʊnɡəˌnyːɡn̩t]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #28,894 among 2,159 “U” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for ungenügend, with forms such as "nugenügend", "ugnenügend", and "unegnügend". 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. We don't track a confusable pairing for this entry, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is ungenügend, spelled U-N-G-E-N-Ü-G-E-N-D.
