While Ezn put this in the category of Miscellaneous, I think these mix ups need their own chapter considering how often they are done.
Two, To, too:
'Two' is the number. How do you even mistake that one?
'To' is a connection of sorts. In indicates that X is for Y.
'Too' is an increase. 'Too stupid'. It can also mean that someone or something is also influenced or doing something. "I, too, paint acrylic."
Your, You're:
You see the apostrophe in 'you're'? That word is a fusion. 'You' and 'are'. 'Your' is just one word. It means something is your possession.
There, their, They're:
There: physical location
Their: possession of a group or a non-binary person
They're: a fused word, 'they are'. A group is something.
Where, we're/we've, were, wear:
Where: a questioning word, asking for a location
We're: we are
We've: we have
wear: a verb
Scarred/scared: Someone has scars and someone is afraid. From the list, this is my arch nemesis.
If you struggle, carry a note with the explanation or just google it every time.
