A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around zuletzt (IPA [t͡suˈlɛt͡st]), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #1,149 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 zuletzt, with forms such as "uzletzt", "zluetzt", and "zueltzt". 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. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, 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 zuletzt, spelled Z-U-L-E-T-Z-T.
