Coloradans have a little trouble looking ahead, according to new data from Google.

The state’s top misspelled word is “tomorrow,” according to a GoogleTrends map released Tuesday. The map uses data from “how to spell” searches to figure out which words each state struggles with.

Google released the map ahead of the 90th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. Spellers are set to take the stage Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

ESPN is expected to air the spelling bee on its app and ESPN and ESPN2 television channels. Preliminaries are expected to be streamed from 6 a.m. to about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday on the app. Finals are scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Thursday on ESPN2 and continue at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN.
