A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Wortsinn (IPA [ˈvɔʁtˌzɪn]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #47,869 among 2,930 “W” headwords. Dominant gloss: "das, was mit einem Wort tatsächlich gemeint ist".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Wortsinn, with forms such as "owrtsinn", "worrtsinn", and "worstinn". 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, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 Wortsinn, spelled W-O-R-T-S-I-N-N.
