Spelling tips for granddaughter The word granddaughter is hard to spell because it’s a combination of two words, one of which (daughter) has a tricky vowel combination and some silent letters. How to spell granddaughter: First, remember that you should spell granddaughter as one word, without a space or a hyphen, and that you should include two d’s—both the one from the end of grand and the one from the beginning of daughter. Next, remember the vowel combination in daughter is the same as it is in the word taught. If you have a granddaughter, this spelling may be one you’ve taught her!
