We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for antirevolutionär, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is antirevolutionär, spelled A-N-T-I-R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N-Ä-R.
