It also participates in 4 confusable-pair relationships, "wichtigstes", "wichtiger", "wichtigste", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is wichtigster, spelled W-I-C-H-T-I-G-S-T-E-R.
