Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because in the base verb dry, consonant y is preceded by another consonant. In such a case, according to the rule, we should transform y into i before the suffix -ed is added. This means that dry + -ed is not dryed but dried, just like the past form of cry is cried, not cryed. Dried is the only correct form.
Correct spelling, explanation: dried is a past simple and past participle form of the verb dry. If a verb ends with y which is preceded by another consonant, then y transforms to i before adding the suffix -ed. Therefore dryed is a mistake and the correct spelling is dried.
