Where “verrückt” sits in German frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around verrückt (IPA [fɛɐ̯ˈʁʏkt]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,495 among 4,163 “V” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for verrückt, with forms such as "evrrückt", "verrcükt", and "verrücckt". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 13 confusable-pair relationships, "versucht", "verrückte", "verrückten", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is verrückt, spelled V-E-R-R-Ü-C-K-T.
