Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „gestanden“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 14 spelling variants around gestanden (IPA [ɡəˈʃtandn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #4,888 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Dominant gloss: "sich in einem Bereich gut auskennend, mit langjähriger Erfahrung".
Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for gestanden, with forms such as "egstanden", "gesatnden", and "gesstanden". 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 8 confusable-pair relationships, "gesunden", "gestatten", "gestrandet", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is gestanden, spelled G-E-S-T-A-N-D-E-N.
