What is most difficult word to spell?

In: English Spelling and Pronunciation [Edit categories]

Answer:

There is no specific word that is most difficult to spell for everyone. There are common mistakes that people make on certain words, but it all depends on your language, how experienced you are at reading/writing, if you have even come accross that word before and hundreds of other factors. Having difficulty spelling any specific word depends soley on the person. I might have a lot of difficulty spelling "Wedenesday" while for another that is one of the easiest words out there.

Usually words that are hard to spell are those that do not follow any specific pattern, like if it were to be taked from another language.
