What the difference between a "Castle" & "citadle"?

Question:

Answers:
A citadel is a fortress for protecting a town, sometimes incorporating a castle.[1] The term derives from the same Latin root as the word "city", civis, meaning citizen.

Citadels are most often used to protect a garrison or political power from the inhabitants of the town it is defending. They were designed to ensure loyalty from the town which they defended.

A castle is a defensive structure seen as one of the main symbols of the Middle Ages. The term has a history of scholarly debate surrounding its exact meaning, but it is usually regarded as being distinct from the general terms fort or fortress in that it describes a building which serves as a residence and commands a specific territory.
a citadle reffers to a single standing tower where a castle reffers to, well, a castle with multiple towers + connecting walls
One is spelt correctly and the other is not.
There isn't much difference: both are built as strongholds and fortresses. However, a citadel was more of a stronghold or fortress, usually built outside a city, for use in war. A castle was also a place of safety (or fortress) for city dwellers in case of war, but it was more often built also to be a home for the nobility.
