verwisselen

1. to swap, replace, exchange
2. to confuse something/someone with something/someone else.

In contrast to wisselen, there is often confusion or error involved:

Je hebt deze letters verwisseld, je zal ze even terug moeten wisselen.

You have (accidentally) swapped those letters, you'll have to flip them back.

Je verwisselt me met iemand anders.

You are confusing me with someone else.
