Rare enough to double-check
believable is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \bɪ.liːvəbl\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Croyable, crédible.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for believable, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. This headword has no recorded confusable partner, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
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 French form is believable, spelled B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E.
