Our Hunspell-derived misspelling index lists 14 documented wrong-spelling variants for analytics, with forms such as "aanlytics", "anallytics", and "analtyics".

Etymologically, the entry records: Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἀναλυτικά (analutiká, “science of analysis”). Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is analytics, spelled A-N-A-L-Y-T-I-C-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
