Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Apparently, most of us aren’t. Even after 10+ years of school, there are still some words — no matter how basic they are — that are still hard for some to spell.
Are you curious about what words people really have a hard time spelling out — so hard that they even use Google Search to figure it out? Well, the people at Unscrambled Words, a Scrabble helper website, looked at Google Search last year to find out and share the answers with us.

That said, here’s a list of the top 10 misspelled words through Google Search and the number of times these words have been searched.
- Restaurant: 95,000 times
- Pneumonia: 13,000 times
- Appreciate: 11,000 times
- Receipt: 9,700 times
- Beautiful: 9,400 times
- Niece: 9,200 times
- Maintenance: 8,500 times
- Bougie: 8,300 times
- Diarrhea: 8,200 times
- Congratulations: 7,100 times
Oddly, some of these words look easy, but we understand that some would mistakenly use the letter “A” instead of an “E” or vice versa in certain words. Also, that silent “P” in Pneumonia can be tricky.
If you’re one of those people struggling with the said words, don’t beat yourself up because, as you can see, you’re not the only one.
