Spelling
Futher or further?
Further is the right spelling. Futher is a common misspelling of it.
FUTHER leaves out the R after FU.
Why people write FUTHER
Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.
Spell the word out loud the slow way, exaggerating every letter ("govern-ment", "pump-kin"), and the missing letter comes back.
How often FURTHER is misspelled
In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), FUTHER appears 2 times for every 1,000 FURTHER, about once for every 500 correct uses.
Is FUTHER a word?
No. FUTHER is not in NWL2023, Collins Scrabble Words or ENABLE, the word lists Scrabble and other word games use, so no word game accepts it. FURTHER is in all three and scores 13 points in Scrabble before bonus squares.
What further means
At or to a great distance.
