Frequently misspelt words

I need to improve my spelling. I need a list of words that are "difficult" but useful. I struggle with ence/ance and double letters.

I have collected a list of spellings that I know I have trouble with but need more. So far I am learning:

necessary/success
discrete/discreet (thanks pedants)
embarrass/embarrassment
sentence
separate
definite (pedants again)
religious

Until someone pointed out definite and discrete/discreet I did not even know I was getting them wrong, Blush so there are bound to be a lot more that I have no idea I am getting wrong.

Help please!

I learnt to spell necessary as 'one cup and two saucers' for the c and s. Never forget it now. HTH

Loose/lose drives me to distraction. Also you're/your and they're/there/their.

Accept/except
En route not on route.

Someone recently shared this gem with me...
