It sounds a lot deeper than not being able to spell a particular word. Spelling is the number one thing many college students have in common, so it is common to not be able to spell something. Main reason autocorrect and spell check is a thing in tech. I can see why you would be embarrassed due to the pressure of an audience.
Intelligence isn't measured that way. Just tell them you were having a bad day and if they don't give you another chance, they are not worth the trouble.
