Wisdom is a reflection of experience. Knowledge based on doing, watching, or witnessing previous acts.
Intellect is a measure of learning. Knowing trivia, understanding theoretical conditions, and similar things.

Intellect is knowing through learning, Wisdom is understanding what has become known.

I'd have to say that wisdom comes with learning from experience (this isn't necessarily the same as it coming with age -- I know too many older people who still do the same dumb stuff they did when they were young, and don't understand why it's a bad idea), and intellect is the capacity to learn from any source, be it experience or books or whatever.

Intellect is the the hardware you are born with. Wisdom is the effect of experience on intellect

Intellect is a non-judgmental ability to absorb knowledge. Wisdom is a litmus test of how to use intellect through experiential life experience in right and proper ways.

Intellect is the mental capacity of a person while Wisdom, in layman terms, is 'pure common sense or insight on any particular situation'.
Hope this helps.

Wisdom comes from God. Intellect comes from man.

Questions such as that forces people to answer it. Although such questions do not yield answers, we humans are capable of pretending that there could be such answers to such questions, then we lead of misunderstanding a certain point. You are asking whether wisdom and intellect has difference? In spelling, yes, but in meaning, they're synonymous.
But, because I'm one of the many people who are quite forced to answer such questions, I say, WISDOM is an applied intellect. While INTELLECT is the structure of wisdom.
We use our intellect when we need to answer specific questions which requires specific answers. While, we use our wisdom, when we need to apply our answers for our daily lives.

I have wisdom but not intellect, I sound smart, I can give good advice, but when I go to my calculus lectures it seems like a different language...
