The Difference Between Peeked, Peaked, & Piqued

Welcome to another #WriterWarnings! Today, we’re going to cover the difference between “Peeked,” "Peaked," and “Piqued.” Sometimes these get mixed up by mistake because we’re writers and we type fast. Our fingers slip and miss that key we thought we hit while writing. Others who are just beginning their writing journey might not know the difference.

✨PEEKED

"peeked" typically has to do with taking a quick look at something. For example, "she peeked inside."

✨ PEAKED

usually has to do with reaching a maximum or reaching the highest point of something. For example, "mountain peak."

✨ PIQUED

associated with a buildup of emotion or interest. this is also usually used in terms of "piqued my curiosity" or "piqued my interest."
