Incorrect spelling, explanation: since the correct form is a combination of the adjective fore and suffix -ward (used in such expressions as backwards, towards), we do not omit the consonant r. Fore and -ward is forward (e was skipped as the ending vowel) not foward.
Correct spelling, explanation: the suffix -ward gives the meaning of moving. In the word forward it was attached to the adjective fore meaning in the front. With this explanation, we can see that r shouldn’t be skipped and foward is incorrect. Forward is here the right spelling.
Definition of forward:
adverb, in a position in the front or moving there
