One word I have never been able to spell correctly on the first attempt is deficiency. I butcher it so badly that my spell checker never knows what I am trying to type and I need to get a dictionary. It is a word I use often so it is a bit of a nuisance!

What word can you never spell correctly on the first attempt?
 
For me it would probably be acquisitions. I’m not quite sure why, but somehow I always end up messing it up and have to fix it. 😂
 
I use autocorrect and swipe a lot so the two words I've always had trouble with is necessary and righteousness
 
almost all of them 😅
most of the time while i'm typing, i'm also constantly checking google to see if i spelled everything right

mostly hyacinth though
when NH first came out, i really wanted loads for my island and i couldn't ask for them properly because i kept forgetting how to spell it
i'd text my sister like "have u got spare hiyaciths" 😂

also necessary, i say that one a lot and i have to google it everytime lol
 
I'm sure there are more, but the ones that come to mind right now are: accommodate, embarrass, and occasionally. I'm pretty sure I see a pattern. 😅
 
I consider myself a pretty strong speller, but I suppose "vacuum" is the only word I can think of right now that I have to think about for an extra second. 2 "c" or 2 "u"?? Double "u"s are weird.
 
Appearently

I always spell it exactly like that the first time every time, but the proper spelling is apparently. I always throw in an extra “e” for some reason.

I definitely spell necessary wrong all the time. I usually think more “ness” instead of “nece”
 
Decision, for some reason the spelling won’t stick and I use that word a lot. I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets how to spell 😅
 
Vacuum. It‘s such a weird word and I always seem to spell it wrong the first time.
 
This is actually quite funny but I always end up butchering the word diarrhoea (thankfully I’m not in a position to use the word a lot lol)
 
The word I struggle with the most is definitely - I spell it definately way too often as I always forget it's supposed to be an 'i' rather then an 'a'

Also looking at some of the other responses I can agree with the word diarrhoea, on the odd occasion I do have to use the word I can never get it right
 
The only one I can think of right now is definitely.

However, when I was really young I remember never being able to spell tomorrow. I’d always spell it “tomarrow.”
 
Apparently I've been spelling broccoli wrong my whole life. TWO c's and only one L at the end? Naw that doesn't look right. Spelling it brocolli just feels better.
 
i have the most trouble with restaurant, honestly. that and sarcophagus (i had to spell it three times and double check if i got it right just for this post XD)
 
Necessary and broccoli are the first that come to mind. Necessary I always want to spell with two c's, broccoli I'm never sure whether or not the c and l are double consonants or not.
