commonly
More often than not
Commonly means in a way that is usual, widespread, or frequently encountered.
It describes what happens often or what most people do, think, or experience: Smartphones are now commonly used for banking.
Something commonly known is familiar to many people; a commonly held belief is one shared by most.
The word can also suggest ordinariness rather than rarity: These birds are commonly found throughout the eastern states.
