More commonly it’s won’t (an abbreviation of will not). (The abbreviation of would not is wouldn’t).
However wont is also a word in its own right. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/wont?view=uk. Means one’s custom or usual behaviour. For example “I have answered a question, as is my wont”.

You spell it won’t, the apostrophe replaces the missing letter which is o.

It’s actually an abbreviation for WILL not–the abb. for WOULD not is “wouldn’t”.
The first guy is wrong.
You definitely need the apostrophe—“wont” is a different word with an entirely different meaning.
