typo
Accidental wrong letter
A typo is a mistake in typed or printed text—a letter transposed, omitted, or wrong: I spotted a typo in the headline.
Short for typographical error.
The word implies accident rather than ignorance; a typo is a slip of the fingers, not a failure to know the correct spelling.
