What word is always pronounced wrong?

How to think about it

1. No real word is mispronounced by everyone, so “pronounced wrong” must be a quotation rather than a complaint.
2. Which word is pronounced “wrong” every time you say it?
3. The word “wrong” itself.
4. However you say it, “wrong” is pronounced wrong.

Why “Wrong” is the answer

The word “wrong” is always pronounced “wrong”, so in the literal reading of the question it is the word that is always pronounced wrong. The riddle depends entirely on hearing “wrong” as the sound of the word rather than as a judgment. It pairs neatly with “incorrectly” from the dictionary riddle, and both reward reading a question as plain text before reading it as a puzzle.

Common wrong answers

• Incorrectly. That is the answer to the spelling version of this riddle, not the pronunciation one.
• Mispronounced. A clever guess, but the riddle names its own answer in the question.
