Google, Bing or other search engines may suggest the proper spelling. Otherwise, look for synonyms in a thesaurus -- you can use the spelling of words that you do know to find the ones that you don't.

You use the first letter of the word then guess the second or say out loud how you think its spelt. If you know the definition of it, you could probably search it by that

Here's one way: if you know the first few letters, type it on Google and see if it corrects it. Some other online dictionaries also do this for words not in the database.
