"Granddaughter," denoting a son's or daughter's daughter, is the correct spelling, while "Grandaughter" is incorrect.
Think of how ‘granddaughter’ is built: the word ‘grand’ means large or impactful, and ‘daughter’ refers to someone’s female child. When you know what each part says, the spelling becomes much easier to remember.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: granddaughter is a word that causes a spelling problem connected with the -d letter. There are two -d letters in the word, but the pronunciation doesn’t suggest it and a wrong assumption is that there is only one -d letter.
