Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for festgelegt, with forms such as "efstgelegt", "fesgtelegt", and "fesstgelegt".

It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "festlegt", "festgelegte", "festgelegten", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is festgelegt, spelled F-E-S-T-G-E-L-E-G-T.
