Google Trends revealed the words people in each state Google the most for help to spell. Also, a six-year-old spelling whiz offers tips for those who need assistance.
Oh deer.
The 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee just ended, and in honor of the event, Google Trends mapped out the “most misspelled words” in each of the 50 states.

Google Trends posted the map on Twitter, and this happened…
