Is it spelt 'wont' or 'won't'?

Answer 1

Won't is correct.

BTW, both 'spelt' and 'spelled' are acceptable forms of the past tense of spell. In general, 'spelled' is used in the USA, while 'spelt' is used in the UK, Canada, Australia and many other countries with historical ties to Britain.

Answer 2

Dear, dear, dear... all you who said wont is not a word.. go check the English (not american) dictionary! It IS a word... Won't is a contraction of will not. Wont, on the other hand is a noun, meaning the way someone often does something (eg it was his wont to drink every night), OR an adjective meaning to often do something (he went out drinking, as he was wont to do)..
Also, as has already been pointed out, the past tense of 'to spell' is SPELLED, as spelt is a type of flour used in breadmaking.

Answer 3

It's spelled won't if i think I know the meaning youre looking for. The word wont means custom or habit. Won't means will not.

Answer 4

Won't

For all the know-alls who say you can only say 'spelled' & that spelt is not a word - they are wrong
Spelt means the same as spelled

Answer 5

will not... won't
custom or habit...wont
spelt and spelled are both correct in UK English (SOED)
but I think their might be a slight tendency to say spelt and write spelled.

Answer 6

It is a contraction, and if you knew contractions you would know this. It is a shortened form of "will not". Historically, "will not" was wynnot and later wonnot, which became contracted to wo’n’t and later the modern won’t.

If you read any of Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) you will find such archaic contractions as ca'n't which is a precursor to the modern " can't ".

Answer 7

Both are correct, but have different meanings entirely. They are pronounced differently as well.

"Won't" is a contraction of "will not".

As in, "He won't go to work tomorrow."

Wont is another word for "habit" or "custom".

"He is wont to play baseball."

Or "Playing baseball is his wont."

Answer 8

Won't because the ' replaces the missing letter, in this case, it's O.

Answer 9

It depends if what yu wish to say is "will not" (in which case it is won't), or whether you mean "wont" as in whim or wish (e.g. such is his wont).

Both are words, despite inferior vocabularies and dictionaries being posessed by some contributors...

Answer 10

Both are words, it depends on the context. "won't" (with apostrophe) is a contraction for "will not", "wont" (without apostrophe) means "usual custom" or "tendency".
