A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around längsten (IPA [ˈlɛŋstn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #12,123 among 2,640 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for längsten, with forms such as "llängsten", "lnägsten", and "lägnsten". 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, "Lasten", "längstens", "langen", 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 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 längsten, spelled L-Ä-N-G-S-T-E-N.
