Technology has made it easier for many of us, but there are still some words that are just kinda difficult for Minnesotans to spell correctly.

These days, when you're wondering how to correctly spell a word, you just Google it, right? The days of heading to the old-school dictionary and looking a word up to get its correct spelling are long gone, thankfully.

So with Google being so prevalent in helping us spell these days, which words are we searching for the most online? That's the question unscrambled-words.com, an online game site, set to find out. They looked at how many times a word’s spelling has been searched for on Google in the past year, then used that data to determine how relatively hard each word is to spell for those of us here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
