The most common and general translation of "spelling" is: **правописание** (pravopisaniye) This refers to the act or system of writing words correctly. Here are some other options, depending on the context: * **орфография** (orfografiya) - this is a more formal and academic term for "orthography" or the study of correct spelling. * **написание** (napisaniye) - This can mean "writing" in general, but sometimes it is used when referring to the spelling of a specific word. For example: "правильное написание этого слова" (pravil'noye napisaniye etogo slova) - "the correct spelling of this word". So, in most cases, **правописание** is the best and safest translation.
