No, both darndest and damndest are not words. People use them as if that's how you spell them because they don't know any better. Both have an
e

d
. Don't use sources that only prove my point.
"Darndest" has nothing to do with this. Merriam-Webster, OED and dictionary.com state that both "Damndest" and "Damnedest" are valid words. Please show me a source that proves that "damndest" isn't a valid word.
On another note, my fiber connection died a few days ago, so I have to use my cellphone until further notice.
