Is it spelled wrong or spelled wrongly?
Well, technically both of the words are valid. “Wrong” can be an adjective and can also be an adverb by adding the suffix “-ly”. It is no different from the adjective “correct” and its adverbial counterpart “correctly”. However, idiomatically, “wrongly” is very uncommon and doesn't sound natural to the native speakers.Mar 10, 2021
