Good to know
Spell Checker compares each word against a built-in list of common English words and offers near-match suggestions for the ones it does not recognize. The suggestion-count setting controls how many alternatives appear. Because the list covers common words, proper nouns and uncommon or technical terms may be flagged, and only English is supported. It checks for spelling, not grammar or meaning.
Frequently asked questions
How large is the dictionary?
It covers a list of common English words, so everyday text checks well but rare, technical or proper-noun words may be flagged as unknown.
Will it flag names and proper nouns?
Often yes, because names are usually not in a common-word list; ignore the suggestion when the spelling is correct.
What does the suggestion count change?
It sets how many near-match replacements are shown for each flagged word, from a single best guess to several options.
Does it check grammar too?
No. This tool focuses on spelling; use a grammar checker for punctuation, capitalization and grammar.
