Spelling
Writting or writing?
Writing is the right spelling. Writting is a common misspelling of it.
WRITTING doubles the T, which WRITING has once.
Why people write WRITTING
After seeing many words with doubled letters, it is natural to double one that should stay single, especially before an ending.
Check the base word first: if the base has one letter (until, not untill), the longer word usually keeps one too.
How often WRITING is misspelled
In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), WRITTING appears 3 times for every 1,000 WRITING, about once for every 333 correct uses.
Is WRITTING a word?
No. WRITTING is not in NWL2023, Collins Scrabble Words or ENABLE, the word lists Scrabble and other word games use, so no word game accepts it. WRITING is in all three and scores 11 points in Scrabble before bonus squares.
