A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around zehnmal (IPA [ˈt͡seːnmaːl]), anumeral. Corpus frequency is #20,135 among 1,996 “Z” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for zehnmal, with forms such as "ezhnmal", "zehhnmal", and "zehmnal". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "zehntel", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is zehnmal, spelled Z-E-H-N-M-A-L.
