A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around woraufhin (IPA [voʁaʊ̯fˈhɪn]), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #15,531 among 2,930 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for woraufhin, with forms such as "owraufhin", "woarufhin", and "worafuhin". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is woraufhin, spelled W-O-R-A-U-F-H-I-N.
