  Hi there!

  Unfortunately, once registered, domains are not editable. They are unique identifiers that remain as-is until they expire, are canceled, or are transferred. This isn’t a WordPress.com rule, it’s just the policy of domain registration throughout the internet.

  However, you are more than welcome to register the correctly spelled domain for your site, if you’d like. Start that process by clicking here:
  https://kayrichter.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Click Register a New Domain Name, and follow the instructions given.

  If you need assistance with this, please do let me know and I can help!
