Changing the meaning of the question by taking words out of context in the sentence in some but not others means all the questions can be taken ambiguously. The question, what WORD is always spelled incorrectly?, is not asking if INCORRECTLY is always spelled I n c o r r e c t l y.
To spell incorrectly correctly, one would spell it incorrectly. But some will spell incorrectly and might spell incorrectly, incorrectly, like incorectly or perhaps incorrektly, or even incorrectley. So incorrectly is not nessecarily always spelled correctly.....depends on who's spelling incorrectly. :-)

No, the other ways are how it is misspelled correctly.
That can be done in more than one way...

No matter who did it
