A misspelling magnet

The generator records 17 spelling variants around ungezwungen (IPA [ˈʊnɡəˌˈt͡svʊŋən]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #48,573 among 2,159 “U” headwords. Dominant gloss: "frei, ohne Hemmungen und Förmlichkeiten".

Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for ungezwungen, with forms such as "nugezwungen", "ugnezwungen", and "unegzwungen". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is ungezwungen, spelled U-N-G-E-Z-W-U-N-G-E-N.
