## Managing Learned Words

<Info>
  Craft delegates spell checking to the operating system — it does not maintain its own spelling dictionary. Learned words are stored and managed at the system level, not inside Craft.
</Info>

When the spell checker flags a correctly spelled word, you can teach the system to recognise it. Once learned, the word is no longer underlined in Craft or any other app that uses the same OS spell checker.

### Learning a Word

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    Right-click the underlined word and select **Learn Spelling** from the context menu. The word is added to the system dictionary shared across all macOS apps.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="iOS">
    Tap the underlined word to open the suggestion bar, then tap **Learn Spelling**. The word is added to the system dictionary used across all iOS apps.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Unlearning a Word

If you accidentally learned a misspelled word, you can remove it.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    Open Terminal and run:

    ```
    open ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary
    ```

    This opens the file in TextEdit. Remove the unwanted word (one word per line), save, and restart Craft.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="iOS">
    Tap the word, then tap **Unlearn Spelling** in the suggestion bar.

    If you need to reset all learned words at once, go to the iOS **Settings** app → **General** → **Transfer or Reset iPhone** → **Reset** → **Reset Keyboard Dictionary**.

    <Warning>
      If iCloud Keyboard sync is enabled (**Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Show All** → **iCloud Drive**, then check whether Keyboard is syncing), previously learned words may be restored from iCloud after a reset. Disable iCloud Keyboard sync before resetting the dictionary if you want a clean slate.
    </Warning>
  </Tab>
