Now, the company behind the spell checker has debuted a free browser plug-in that is compatible with popular browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. While Witty Works is poised as a free spell-checker, it is more than just a tool for spelling and grammar. The Witty Works tool solidifies itself as an independent entity from [popular spell-checkers such as Grammarly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grammarly-reader-reactions) by offering unique features. Witty Works places its focus on correcting word choices to make them more inclusive, rather than purely correcting grammar. When a typist enters a word that is deemed negative for one of many reasons, which could include harmful effects, stereotyping, and more, the tool will flag the word and provide a brief description of why this word should not be used. Then, Witty Works will suggest a more [inclusive replacement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-suggestion) to take the word's place.
