I remember the first time I had to spell 'spicy'—my brain just blanked for a second. It's one of those words that looks simple but can trip you up if you overthink it. The correct spelling is S-P-I-C-Y. I learned it by associating it with food, like when I’m eating something with a kick and think, 'Wow, this is spicy!' The 'c' always throws people off because it sounds like it could be an 's,' but nope, it’s a hard 'c' sound. Now I just picture a chili pepper with the letters on it, and it sticks.
