Why people write “rythym”
“rythym” differs from “rhythm” in 2 places: it leaves out the silent H, a letter you barely hear when the word is spoken; and it adds an extra letter, Y.
Spell-checkers catch the mistake in a document, but not in a handwritten note, a text message or a word game. Writing the word out a few times while saying the tricky part aloud is the quickest way to make rhythm automatic.
