The word "Wrong" 😂
Seriously though, the word "criticize", the second 'c' and 'z' always put me off, and for some reason, I always think that there should be an 's' there somewhere.

Necessary. It shouldn't be that hard, but I can never remember the write amount and locations of 'c's and 's's.

Advise with an ise is a verb.

Advice with an ice is a noun. And Ice is also a noun.
