My kids make this mistake so I thought a clarification might be helpful for others.
According to the Grammarly blog, when you use purposely in a sentence, it should be synonymous with intentionally and on purpose. The opposite of purposely is accidentally. When you use purposefully in a sentence, it should mean “in a way that shows determination and resolve” or, put more simply, “full of purpose.” The opposite of purposefully would be close to negligently or carelessly.
