spellcheck attribute does not work in Edge for text inputs

Why does the spellcheck attribute work fine in IE but not in Edge for text inputs? Here is my code:

<input spellcheck="true"></input>

Text area spell checking works fine in Edge but not text inputs.

Or is there a workaround?

it works on input and texareas only; input must have attribute type='text'; to configure the languages you should go on microsoft edge to configuration languages; also it apperas not to work if you use only capital letters.

It appears that this is only supported in EdgeHtml versions 15 and above (https://caniuse.com/#feat=spellcheck-attribute)

It won't work on input tags if you are using Edge with EdgeHtml of 14 and below.

See @msokrates answer for the workaround

As a workaround you could use a single line textarea. <textarea rows="1"></textarea> see fiddle as an example
