What are some words that you have or had troubles spelling and made up funny ways to help remember them?
I can't spell anything without a dictionary or, these days a spell check. I usually know where the vowels go, so I cycle through them until the word "looks" right, or the red squiggle goes away.

This is legitimately how I think out words, I learned how to spell by typing

I've never heard of either of these memory tricks, but hey, whatever works!

I create my own 
Espanso autocorrect scripts based on my own common, repeated misspellings to reduce manual effort spent on dealing with squiggly lines. You don't usually have to keep checking vowels manually, by the way; you can just right-click the word and suggestions will arise.

I can't believe Australians pronounce "diarrhea" in this way. There is literally no "o!" Are you serious?

When trying to remember how to spell Oracle I always have to recite

You would think working in IT for over 20 years I would remember how to spell one of the worst databases ever.

If anyone has a good trick for occasion and occurrence, I'm all ears. They're worse than USB-A ports for me.

Not something I have trouble with spelling, but a common typo I noticed I make is spelling "check" with a 'h' instead of the 'k' for some reason.
