I find in the rare situations when I hit this sort of problem, a
thesaurus can help.
Although I've taken to entering the word in google - quite often the
'did you mean' entry will be the right one.

Yup, google is probably quick way... I normally fire up Word or
something and get that to suggest something. The best electronic
dictionary I have used, was Proximity Technology's Linguibase - they
used to licenses it to a number of word pro vendors. That seemed to have
an almost supernatural ability to predict what I meant even if what I
typed bore no resemblance to it.
