A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around Guggenheim, aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #28,936 among 2,313 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for Guggenheim, with forms such as "ggugenheim", "gguggenheim", and "gugegnheim". 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, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
