View source for Which - witch - wych

Confusion of these two words is a spelling mistake that can happen because of pronunciation. 

'''which''' is the much more common word. It is a relative pronoun.

'''witch''' is a noun which is much more rarely used in modern English - except in terms of horror films. It means a person (nearly always a woman) who has supernatural powers, often derived from the devil. In non-European cultures, witches are not always male, nor are they always bad, I understand.
