Chippewa Local Speller Zach Yeager prepares for the National Bee
Zach Jaeger, a student at Chippewa Junior High School in Drytown, is busy preparing for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Oddly, “Misspell” is not particularly easy to spell, but Americans are most often not on the list of Misspell words.
However, as Scripps National Spelling Bee progresses, research by Wordunscrambler.pro, an online tool for Scrabble players and others playing word games, has discovered that Americans struggle to spell many other words.
Use Google Trends to search for data from May 19th to May 19th. “How do you spell it…” and “How to spell it…” analysts have discovered that they definitely can’t spell it “definitely.” Impulse cannot be separated to “separate” impulses from search engine inquiries. And I think you need to somehow search on Google for the spelling “necessary.”
According to Wordunscrambler’s analysis, these are the top three difficult words each.
I can’t believe what else is on the list. Or maybe you will.
What will Google’s analysis reveal about spelling errors?
At least two words with a challenging IE combination created a list of the most mispelled words: “Believe” is the one in which it was entered with number 4, and “Neighbor” is the one in which it was number 7.
There were 33,500 searches “unquestionably”, 30,000 for “separate” and 29,000 for “necessary”. “Thru” is a 28,000 search and seems like a troublesome word.
But “gorgeous” is number six on the list, so we can also provide some comfort in the other words on the list in a polarized country. And even if that ei-or-ie is suitable for us, we clearly care about our “neighbors.”
Google took root because of a mistake
There’s a mistake in Google’s Origin Story. Creators Sergei Brin and Larry Page were originally called search engine backlove. However, Page had a better idea (it may be hard to think of something worse): cutor “1” followed by 100 zero, or if you’re interested in an exponent, it’s 10 to 100th power. The page made that wrong and Google, a search engine, was born.
However, the widespread use of search engines has made “Google” a verb and an appropriate noun. And its popularity comes primarily due to the usefulness of helping us find some of our “favorite” (number 9 in the list of most incorrect words).
That we search most may be some of the things we most often get wrong: “Business” is number 8 on the list, and “Restaurants” is number 10 for spelled searches.
What do people in your state get the most wrong?
Alabama, Kansas, New York, Wisconsin I hope everything is “different” Arkansan I just want a good “Quesadilla”. Coloradothe home bases of six US military bases seem to be searching for “Sergeants.” Delaware, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming Looking for someone or something “beautiful.”

in Michiganthey start with “scratch”, but feel the heat Missourithe “temperature” will warm. Rhode Islander I’m interested in what was “cancelled” and what I’m interested in North Dakotait’s all about “daughter” (because “son” spells it out very easily).
It’s hard not to want people of vy Hawaii, However, people are thinking about the next “luau”.
And what happened to you? Vermont? I just want to know how to spell “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”
