When I think “embarrassing searches,” they’re not … those kinds. They’re the ones where I’m trying to figure out how to spell a word I definitely should know how to spell. I’m not alone. We all use search engines as a dictionary these days.
But which words are the hardest to spell? The folks at unscrambled words (a Scrabble cheater/helper site) looked at a year of Google Search data to spill the beans.
Do you struggle with any of these?
- Restaurant – 95,000 searches
- Pneumonia – 13,000
- Appreciate – 11,000
- Receipt – 9,700
- Beautiful – 9,400
- Niece – 9,200
- Maintenance – 8,500
- Bougie – 8,300
- Diarrhea – 8,200
- Congratulations – 7,100
Words I’m surprised didn’t make the top 10:
- Calendar (I commonly see this written as calender)
- Conscience (that S and C every time)
- Sergeant (not sargent)
- Embarrass (all those double letters are tricky)
- Guarantee (this one is easy to mess up)
- Accommodation (the Cs and Ms get you)
If you have a Scrabble or Wordle fan in your life, be sure to pass along this fun story to them.
