Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „gedehnt“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around gedehnt (IPA [ɡəˈdeːnt]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #49,699 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for gedehnt, with forms such as "egdehnt", "gdeehnt", and "geddehnt". 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 17 confusable-pair relationships, "geehrt", "gelernt", "gemeint", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No documented word history exists for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is gedehnt, spelled G-E-D-E-H-N-T.
