Rare enough to double-check
SSSR is uncommon German at frequency #97,735 among 8,027 “S” headwords, classed as aproper noun, transcribed [sssr̩]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "ein sozialistischer Staat, der sich während seiner Existenz von 1922 bis 1991 von Europa bis Asien erstreckte; UdSSR".
SSSR doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is SSSR, spelled S-S-S-R.
