Explanation
'Dilemma' is the correct spelling, referring to a difficult situation or problem where one must choose between two or more equally unsatisfactory alternatives. The word derives from Greek 'dilemma' meaning 'double proposition'. The double 'm' is the key spelling feature that distinguishes it from incorrect variants. The prefix 'di-' means two, reflecting the original meaning of having to choose between two options. It is commonly misspelled with a single 'm'.
