Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „fehlerhaften“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 19 spelling variants around fehlerhaften (IPA [ˈfeːlɐhaftn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #30,553 among 3,474 “F” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 19 likely wrong-spelling variants for fehlerhaften, with forms such as "efhlerhaften", "fehelrhaften", and "fehhlerhaften". 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 also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "Fehlverhalten", "fehlerhaft", "fehlerhafte", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is fehlerhaften, spelled F-E-H-L-E-R-H-A-F-T-E-N.
