I’m picking “Colonel” needs to be respelled to match how it’s pronounced.

Try to pick a word no one else has picked. What word are you respelling?

      Come to think of it, I just used the first version that came to mind.

      After some more research from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin

      Wotan - High German

      Odin - Norse

      Wōden - Old English.

      Wōden would be the correct origin for Wednesday, which is the source of the W and D.
      Not sure how the “ō” got changed to an “e” though.
