mistypes
Accidental wrong letters
Mistypes are typing errors—letters transposed, wrong keys struck, words mangled by hasty fingers: The email was full of mistypes.
The verb mistype means to type incorrectly: I always mistype "receive" as "recieve".
Distinct from misspellings, which reflect not knowing the correct spelling, mistypes are mechanical slips.
