Correct spelling

dried

Correct spelling, explanation: an English word that has its roots in Germanic languages. Today it functions either as an adjective or as a past or past participle form of the verb to dry. It is worth mentioning that when a verb ends in -y which is preceded by a consonant we change it to -i and then add an -ed ending, which results in the correct form dried.

Incorrect spelling

dryed

Incorrect spelling, explanation: many English users mistakenly believe that in order to form the past simple or past participle form of the verb to dry it is enough just to add an -ed ending to it, which gives the incorrect form dryed. In case of such words – which end in -y preceded by a consonant, we first need to change it to -i and then add -ed, which gives dried – the only correct form.
