*Eachother or Each Other | Which Is Correct?

Is eachother one word?
No, “each other” is always spelled as two separate words. It is a pronoun that indicates a reciprocal action or relationship between two or more people or things.
For example, in the sentence “The dogs played with each other,” “each other” denotes that multiple dogs played together as opposed to playing independently.

Each other vs one another
“Each other” and “one another” are both reciprocal pronouns. While some style guides and grammar authorities suggest that “each other” should be used when referring to a group of two and “one another” when referring to three or more, both phrases can be used interchangeably.
- They danced with each other all night.
- They danced with one another all night.
Each others or each other’s
The correct spelling is each other’s, not each others. The apostrophe and “s” help show possession by indicating that something belongs to both parties involved. For example, in the sentence “They held each other’s hands,” it means each person held the hands of the other.
