Correct spelling, explanation: the word challenge originates from Middle English chalenge, from Old French chalenge, chalonge, and from Latin calumnia. As you can see, it has a complex etymology. It should be spelled with two -e vowels instead of two -a vowels and, on top of that, you need to add the double -l to it. Therefore, the only correct version of this word is challenge, not chalange.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: you can’t spell the word challenge as chalange because that would be a mistake. It should be written with double -l and two -e vowels.

Try to avoid it and remember that the only correct version is challenge.
