These two words are easily confused, and often wrongly selected by autocorrect when you aren’t paying attention to the keys you are hitting.
Ingenious
- clever, inventive and/or original
- displaying cleverness or originality; well suited for its intended purpose
Ingenuous
- innocent, trusting or unsuspecting; unsophisticated
- honest and straightforward
You can work out which word you need by remembering that a genius is often ingenious.
