Key Differences
Focus on the "app-" at the start of "Apparently," which is similar to "appear."
Use a mnemonic: "An apparent tree is not 'alledgedly' a tree; it's 'apparently' a tree."
Recall that "allegedly" is a different word altogether, meaning 'it is claimed but not proven.'
"Apparently" starts with the same letters as "appear," which helps remember its meaning—something that seems true.
Remember that "Apparently" has only one "l," unlike "Alledgedly."
