A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around gelangten (IPA [ɡəˈlaŋtn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #13,147 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for gelangten, with forms such as "eglangten", "gealngten", and "gelagnten". 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 14 confusable-pair relationships, "gelungen", "gelingen", "gelegten", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is gelangten, spelled G-E-L-A-N-G-T-E-N.
