What is the Difference Between "Peak" and "Peek"?
What is the Difference Between "Peak" and "Peek"?
Sam, my son was chatting online, his friend wrote "I peekt over the fence." He wasn’t sure whether his friend meant "peeked" or "peaked," so he asked me for clarification. Was there a difference between the two, or was this just a typo?

This is a great question, and it’s awesome that Sam wants to clarify! Here’s a simple breakdown of the difference between "peeked" and "peaked," so you can explain it easily to him:
Peeked
- Meaning: To look quickly or sneakily at something.
- Example: I peeked over the fence to see what was happening.
Peaked
- Meaning: To reach the highest point or top (like a mountain peak) or to describe something that’s at its best.
- Example: His career peaked last year.
Your son’s friend probably meant "peeked" because they were talking about looking over a fence. Thanks and let me know if you have other questions!
