They need to be a little more forgiving on spelling here, considering these are German words we rarely ever write down... E.g., "gesundheit" I kept spelling with a Z, then tried to misspell further, only to miss it completely when I actually knew it.
Quizmaster replies:
Added some more acceptable variations for gesundheit....
