A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for Sauerland, with forms such as "asuerland", "saeurland", and "sauelrand". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "Saarland", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Sauerland, spelled S-A-U-E-R-L-A-N-D.
