A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around resident (IPA [ˈrezɪdənt]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #27,905 among 2,984 “R” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Bewohner".
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for resident, with forms such as "ersident", "reisdent", and "resdient". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "Residenz", "resistent", "residence", 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 its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct German form is resident, spelled R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T.
