The spelling of the word "Hamlet" is often confused with "Hamblet." However, the correct spelling is "Hamlet," with the emphasis on the first syllable, pronounced as HAM-let. The mis-spelling may have arisen due to the similarity in sound between the final syllable of "Hamlet" and the common ending "-let" found in other words like "applet" or "wallet." But the correct spelling is important to ensure clear communication, and to avoid misunderstandings or confusion.
