It would be a good habit to check (for example on the Wiktionary – I have a Chrome search keyword dedicated to that) because those are not the only differences.

fulfill vs. fulfil

judgment vs. judgement

disk vs. disc (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/disk#Usage_notes)

hiccup vs. hiccough

diarrhea vs. diarrhoea

In British English "judgment" without the 'e' is generally only used for talking about judicial rulings, whereas most other uses of the word contain the 'e'.
