A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around langsamen (IPA [ˈlaŋzaːmən]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #16,478 among 2,640 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for langsamen, with forms such as "alngsamen", "lagnsamen", and "langasmen". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "längsten", "langsamer", "langsames", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is langsamen, spelled L-A-N-G-S-A-M-E-N.
