👂🏻 Peak = Pique = Peek

These three words can be kind  of confusing. Spelled E-A, peak,  

it means the highest point of something. He's  reached the peak of his career or we've reached  

the peak of the mountain. We’ve reached the peak!  Spelled E-E, same pronunciation, peek, this time  

it means to take a look at something, sometimes  secretly, sometimes very quickly. I took a peek  

in the closet to see what my husband got me for  my birthday. Spelled P-I-Q-U-E, it can mean the  

feeling you get when your pride has been hurt. She  was piqued that she wasn't invited to the party.  

We also use the spelling when something makes  you interested in something else. For example,  

I heard you talking about your trip to Disney  and it piqued my interest. We're planning a trip,  

too. Peak. Peek. Pique. Same pronunciation,  different spellings, different words.
