A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Zschäpe (IPA [ˈt͡ʃɛːpə]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #22,978 among 1,996 “Z” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Nachname, Familienname".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Zschäpe, with forms such as "szchäpe", "zcshäpe", and "zscchäpe". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
