misreckoned
Got figures wrong
Misreckoned means calculated or estimated incorrectly.
The word appears in formal or literary contexts where someone has misjudged quantities, odds, or outcomes: He had misreckoned the distance and ran out of fuel.
It suggests an error in figuring rather than mere guessing wrong.
