The Number One Words States Have To Google To Spell It Right

Google Trends If you have not checked it out, they always have what topics people are searching for and they posted a map of the #1 word each state that people have been googling because people aren't sure how to spell it. And some of these words are short.

Tennessee is the only state with a four-letter word at #1 and that word is gray. G-R-A-Y is more common in the U.S., while other countries spell it G-R-E-Y.

Five states have issues with five-letter words: Wisconsin can't spell "quiet, Kentucky has trouble with the word "color, Hawaii can't spell "bagel" South Dakota can't spell "equal, and North Carolina doesn't know which way to spell donut.

Six-letter words are #1 in seven states: Friend in Arizona and Indiana "assist, in Utah, hungry, in New Mexico, cousin" in Pennsylvania, career in Delaware, and the slang term "bougie" in Connecticut. (Pronounced BOOJ-ee.)

The top seven or eight-letter words we struggle with include: Because, dessert, favorite tomorrow, question, teacher, supplies nemesis, and anxious.

Beautiful is the most common BIG word we can't spell if nine letters is big. It's #1 in California, Nevada, Oregon, North Dakota, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey.
