I'm not the greatest speller. Finding correct spellings of certain words is sometimes a challenge. To save time while I'm writing, I began accumulating words I spelled incorrectly and most spellchecks couldn't correct. I put them into a database with the correct spelling, along with other commonly and uncommonly misspelled words.

Then I scripted a Misspelled Words Search, a search designed to quickly find correct spellings of incorrectly spelled words. In some cases it provides the correct spelling for two words incorrectly spelled as single word and vice versa.

The database is still somewhat small, somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple thousand words. Nevertheless, some of the incorrectly spelled words it does have aren't usually corrected through many spellchecks. If you're having trouble finding the correct spelling of a specific word, this search just might help.

Disclaimer: Misspelled Words Search is something I put together to help myself and possibly others write more efficiently. I don't guarantee correctly spelled words are spelled correctly and incorrectly spelled words are spelled incorrectly. If you do use this word search, please use diligence.
