Rare enough to double-check
Wettbewerb is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anoun, transcribed \ˈvɛtbəˌvɛʁp\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 2 senses are on record.
Wettbewerb has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is Wettbewerb, spelled W-E-T-T-B-E-W-E-R-B.
