A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around zehnten (IPA [ˈt͡seːntn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #9,304 among 1,996 “Z” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for zehnten, with forms such as "ezhnten", "zehhnten", and "zehnetn". 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 12 confusable-pair relationships, "Zeiten", "zelten", "zeigten", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is zehnten, spelled Z-E-H-N-T-E-N.
