My niece tells me this is a word. She saw it in the "big dictionary" at school. I said that if something is wrong, it's wrong, period. There's no need for "wronger" or "wrongest." Was I wrong...?

Well, it's not, you know, the bestest word if you're looking for a superlative, but you can sure say "thou wrongest me" or call someone a wronger of rights (or something). (Check out wrongst and wrang. What fun!)

OED has wronger but not wrongest. But it does have wrong-foot: "2. fig. To disconcert by an unexpected move; to catch unprepared."
