apparently
Expresses that something is probably the case based on outward signs or available information, but that there is no absolute certainty. It means roughly 'to all appearances'.
Anscheinend hat der letzte Bus die Haltestelle schon verlassen.
Apparently, the last bus has already left the stop.
'Anscheinend' (apparently) is derived from the noun 'der Anschein' (the outward impression). It literally means 'dem Anschein nach' (to all appearances). This helps you understand that it is about an assumption based on observations.
Es hat den Anschein, als ob es bald regnen wird.
It looks as if it will rain soon.
As an adverb, 'anscheinend' (apparently) is flexible. It can stand at the beginning of the sentence (position 1), after which the verb follows. It can also stand inside the sentence after the verb and the subject.
Anscheinend ist niemand zu Hause.
Apparently, nobody is home.
With 'anscheinend' (apparently), you express that you assume something because it looks that way, but you are not one hundred percent sure. It signals a conclusion based on evidence or clues.
Sein Fahrrad ist nicht da. Anscheinend ist er schon losgefahren.
His bike isn't there. Apparently, he has already set off.
probably / well

Laut dem Schild an der Tür wird das Treffen anscheinend ausfallen.
According to the sign on the door, the meeting will apparently be canceled.
Ohne eine Nachricht von Tom wird das Treffen wohl ausfallen.
Without hearing from Tom, the meeting will probably be canceled.
