North Dakota Keeps Misspelling These Words in 2026

Words are hard. Sometimes we're in a hurry and autocorrect does us dirty. Other times, we have brain farts. Some words are just ridiculous and hard to spell, like humans shouldn't be held to these extreme spelling standards.

A company called Unscrambler looks at Google data every year to find out which words North Dakotans are having a hard time spelling in 2026. Before we take a look at that, let's see which words North Americans misspell the most in 2026.

According to the source, there here are the top 10:

Bougie - 134,400
Favorite - 128,400
Through - 127,200
Business - 123,600
Tomorrow - 121,200
Because - 106,800
Definitely - 104,400
Beautiful - 102,000
Niece - 100,800
Separate - 98,400

I have to say, I do have to spell out 'Because' every time I think of it. Also, whoever thought 'Definitely,' and "defiantly' should be spelled so similarly... evil. One last thing: nothing about spelling 'Separate' with two As feels right.

Now, let's take a look at which word North Dakotans are struggling with most this year.
