"Use the words wrongly"
Massively wrong in my opinion,
but I'm curious what the most common and correct way to say this,
isn't it supposed to be "Use the words ERRONEOUSLY"?

Wrongly = erroneously, and erroneously is just more awkward than wrongly, but neither makes any sense: why would you be commanded to use the wrong words?
