Just for the record congratulations is splet with TWO T's....
I think that you mean "spelt," not "splet."

"Spelt" may be an acceptable alternate form of "spelled," depending on the country of origin (see Katie's note above), and pertains to the construction of a word through the use of specific letters in a predefined order.

"Splet" is the sound a frog makes when it hits pavement at 187 feet per second. Don't ask me how I know.
