Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for landen, with forms such as "alnden", "ladnen", and "landden".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "lane", "Länge", "Linde", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
