A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around längere (IPA [ˈlɛŋəʁə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,468 among 30,953 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for längere, with forms such as "llängere", "lnägere", and "lägnere". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 16 confusable-pair relationships, "langes", "längste", "längeren", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is längere, spelled L-Ä-N-G-E-R-E.
