I just stumbled upon this List of German cognates with English. Does anybody know of a similar list for any of the Scandinavian languages and/or a list of typical sound/orthography changes between Norwegian (Bokmål), Danish and Swedish?

Try Minordbok (it's meant for kids, but useful for beginners. It's set to Danish on default. As a test, I entered "ord" in the field which then yielded 5 entries in Danish with 'ord'. I then clicked on the Danish flag in the box for 'ord' and then got the counterparts of 'ord' in Bokmål, Nynorsk and Swedish).

Interesting. I didn't notice those.
Just for a laugh, I just set it to Finnish and punched in several Finnish words off the top of my head to find out their counterparts in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.
