A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around wirkenden (IPA [ˈvɪʁkn̩dən]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #17,191 among 2,930 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for wirkenden, with forms such as "iwrkenden", "wikrenden", and "wireknden". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "Wirkungen", "wirkende", "werdenden", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No borrowing history is documented 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 wirkenden, spelled W-I-R-K-E-N-D-E-N.
