A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around langes (IPA [ˈlaŋəs]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #7,500 among 2,640 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for langes, with forms such as "alnges", "lagnes", and "lanegs". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "Lunge", "längs", "lines", 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 is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is langes, spelled L-A-N-G-E-S.
