Anscheinend hat es funktioniert.

Sentence Discussions German
#1
English Translation

Apparently, it worked.

Wouldn’t offensichlich also work here?

#2

“offensichtlich” is more like “obviously”, which means that it was to be expected. With “anscheinend” it’s more of a surprise. More literally it means “seemingly”.

So the choice really needs more context than the origin sentence. “Obviously it was working,” versus “Apparently it was working.”
