Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „ständig“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around ständig (IPA [ˈʃtɛndɪç]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,244 among 8,027 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for ständig, with forms such as "sständig", "stnädig", and "sttändig". 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 13 confusable-pair relationships, "stands", "ständige", "standing", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, 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 ständig, spelled S-T-Ä-N-D-I-G.
