Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for yesterday's, with forms such as "eysterday's", "yesetrday's", and "yessterday's". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 2 confusable-pair relationships, "yesterdays", "yesterday", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct English form is yesterday's, spelled Y-E-S-T-E-R-D-A-Y-'-S.
