Spelling & Dictionary Insight

The German entry for three times is 11 letters long, classified as anum, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [θriː taɪms]. It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader.The dominant gloss from Wiktionary reads: "dreimal".

No frequent misspelling variants are recorded for three times in our index, suggesting the orthography either follows predictable German patterns or the word is uncommon enough that typo corpora lack signal.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is three times, spelled T-H-R-E-E- -T-I-M-E-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
