A misspelling magnet
The generator records 5 spelling variants around allzu (IPA [ˈalt͡suː]), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #3,294 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "verstärktes zu; zu sehr, in zu hohem Grade".
Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for allzu, with forms such as "alluz", "allzzu", and "alzlu". 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 11 confusable-pair relationships, "Alu", "alle", "alla", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is allzu, spelled A-L-L-Z-U.

Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how allzu appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Gegen allzu viele und unnötige englische Fremdwörter kann man sich wehren, man kann auf ihre Verwendung verzichten und sich stattdessen deutscher Wörter besinnen.
„Natürlich erhoffe ich mir von meinem Wutausbruch, dass die Vorgesetzten an mögliche Folgen für ihre Laufbahn denken, falls die Berichterstattung allzu negativ ausfällt, aber am Ende ist es wohl mehr Mitleid, warum sich ein Biologe seufzend bereiterklärt, uns immerhin an den Rand des Sperrbezirks zu führen.“
