A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around wahrsten (IPA [ˈvaːɐ̯stn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #16,322 among 38,697 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for wahrsten, with forms such as "awhrsten", "wahhrsten", and "wahrrsten". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 7 confusable-pair relationships, "warten", "währte", "warnten", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

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 wahrsten, spelled W-A-H-R-S-T-E-N.
