Fliped

/ˈflɪpt/ verb

Definition

This is a non-standard spelling; the correct past tense of 'flip' is 'flipped' (with double 'p').

Etymology

This appears to be a misspelling of 'flipped,' the past tense of the verb 'flip,' which comes from Middle Dutch 'flippen.'

Kelly Says

English's doubling rule is tricky: one-syllable words ending in consonant-vowel-consonant double the final consonant before adding '-ed' (flip→flipped), but many spelling errors show how this isn't intuitive to learners.
