(WMTV) After more than a year of lived experience, Wisconsinites still struggled to spell the word “quarantine.”

AT&T Experts reviewed the top searched “how to spell” words by state from March 24, 2020 to March 24, 2021 and found that “quarantine” was a common puzzler across the Badger State.

Luckily, we’re not alone. “Quarantine” was a problem word for 11 other states, including Minnesota and Indiana, making it the most searched misspelled word. The most common misspelling of the word? “Corn teen,” according to AT&T.

Other popular searches were “favorite,” most commonly misspelled as “favourite” and “Caronavirus” instead of “coronavirus.” Some states represented ever-tricky words like “exercise” and “which,” while Florida stood alone with “pharaoh” as their spelling-stumper.
