How Do You Say "I read it wrong" in Japanese?

Is there such a word like 読み間違え or something like that in Japanese?

Thanks!




Yes.

The word for it is 読み間違える, as you hinted at. Some other words that seem to be
more limited to metaphorical instances of reading people or situations include
読{よ}み誤{あやま}る ("misread the political picture" 政治情勢を読み誤る) as well as 見誤{みあやま}る
("misread a signal," or 合図［信号・サイン］を見誤る)

These examples and others can be seen
