"Relaxingly". Does this word exist?

[FelipeRRM]

First of all thank you for your attention.

My doubt comes from my English test, so here it goes:

We were asked to rewrite the sentences without using the underlined words, any changes could be made, as long as the original meaning prevailed.
Take a look at one of the sentences we were supposed to rewrite:

"Your days are full of excitement while also relaxing and uncomplicated".

I wrote this: "Your days are full of exciting moments while also relaxingly uncomplicated".

The teacher said "relaxingly" doesn't exist, I must admit, I was in doubt when I wrote it, but I wanted to "test" if it really existed or not (it seems it doesn't), but checking never harms. What do you guys think? Doest it exist? If it exists, did I use it correctly?

I thought relaxing was an adjective and relaxingly an adverb.

Thanks

No, I don't think so, though "relaxedly" does: Relaxed - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

No, I don't think so, though "relaxedly" does: Can't quote links

Are you sure ?

Though it seems strange that when I google "relaxingly" some results show up, and they don't appear to be wrong...

up =]

"Relaxingly" doesn't exist, Barb is right the adverb is "relaxedly"

I haven't figured it out why "increasingly" is OK while "relaxingly" not.

There are 79 900 exact matches So I wouldn't say that this word doesn't exist. It might be something like, for example, "unkaputtbar" in German. Officially it doesn't exist, but everybody understands it.
Maybe in a couple of years it will be commonly used.

Thank you guys.

The teacher took me away 0.2 points because of this, otherwise it would have been 100% =D

Thanks again.

Over 1,000 occurences more (81,200) since yesterday on Google. Does this forum contribute to that?
