Odd Spellings: Peek, Peak, Pique

This set of homophone pairs often leaves out pique, which often gets spelled like one of the others. 

Peek: to look while trying not to be seen

Peak: the top (of a mountain or career, for instance)

Pique: to stir, usually in “pique my interest.”


Trick to Remember:

Peek has two eyes to see with.

Peak is first or best, like the letter A.

Pique is to get you interested in something quirky.
