About

A small daily habit for catching more typos.

I built TypoFind because spelling mistakes are easy to miss when you read your own work quickly. A tiny daily challenge felt like a more enjoyable way to keep that proofreading muscle active.

I'm Jay, an independent developer and the person behind TypoFind. This is a small project I'm building in public—one daily round, one difficult word, and hopefully one fewer typo at a time.

Why I made it

Spellcheck is helpful, but it does not always teach you why a word looks wrong. I wanted to make the familiar traps feel memorable: the missing letter in definitely, the double letters in accommodate, or the vowels that get swapped in receive.

How I choose words

I curate the word list around mistakes people genuinely make: doubled consonants, silent letters, vowel swaps, and endings that sound alike. Every question includes a correct spelling and close-looking alternatives, because that small moment of comparison is where the learning happens.

A quick note on language

TypoFind primarily uses standard American English spellings. When a word has regional variations, I aim to make the convention clear in the study note rather than pretending there is only one way English is used everywhere.

Keep me honest

If you find a weak clue, a spelling issue, or have an idea that would make the game more useful, I'd genuinely like to hear it. You can reach me at contact@typofind.com.

TypoFind is for quick practice and curiosity. For important writing, always trust a dictionary, editor, or the style guide that fits your work.
