Looks like I lost spell checking. It worked before when I was using Python 3.4 (pyenchant, I assume). Now that my Python environment is via Anaconda3, pyenchant isn't an option (not that I can tell). Noodling around some older posts like this one from 2018, it's not obvious to me how to proceed. Using the command: show-spell-info I get this is the log pane:

 Spell checking has been disabled.
To enable, put a main dictionary at:
~/.leo/main_spelling_dict.txt
user dictionary: C:/Users/rob_iawac46/.leo/spellpyx.txt

Where would that come from? I also looked at issues #700, #711 and #715, but still not sure what to do.

Here you go for the main spelling dictionary.

And for the user file just create an empty file. THis is where Leo sticks words you Add to the dictionary.

Good question.

It was in my .leo directory and it doesn't exist anywhere withinn the Leo git directory.

So I probably got it the same way you just did.
