As a clue you can see the answer in the image above.

There is a grand prize of 0.005 STEEM for the winner and three 0.001 STEEM runner up prizes.

The winner is the first correct answer. After 7 days the runners up will be randomly selected. I will use a random number generator and assign numbers to all correct answers and the three chosen will win (It's a small prize but mainly just for fun). After 7 days I post an answer/identify the correct answer and pay out the rewards.

Please remember to follow and optionally upvote if you like this post or give an answer, have fun!

So this one requires any answer that isn't the word correctly because that's the only word spelt c-o-r-r-e-c-t-l-y.

So @melip you got there first. Although maybe you were trying to say spelt isn't a word? In the English spoke in England it is, maybe not in the US. 

Rewards have now been paid.

Discussion and answers for spoiler related things to the [Homophobic Pun Riddle](https://steemit.com/riddle/@pandasquad/7mvnhz-can-you-solve-this-riddle-for-a-steem-prize):

You don't have to look far for the answer to this,
Just answer the clues and make sure there is nothing you miss,
You heat this up and it cooks for you,
Follows the night but doesn't state why,
The french eat me but for you they took away the nail,
Look at a graph now look northwest, say what you see but not with a rant.

Any word other than 'correctly' is never spelled 'c o r r e c t l y'. 'apple' for instance is spelled 'a p p l e' not 'c o r r e c t l y'.
