How to spell cheat
What it means: To act dishonestly to gain an advantage.
In a sentence: It is not nice to cheat during a game.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as cheet or cheete.
Same family: cheatgrass, weed, wheat, grain, crop. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: This plant name is related to the more common noun and verb “cheat,” because the weed fools farmers by imitating real grain in the field. The word comes from Middle English, where it referred to false or inferior grain mixed in with good wheat.
