Note
A regular -est superlative that stands beside the irregular least rather than replacing it. Least handles amount and degree (the least effort). Littlest stays with size and youth, as in the littlest child or the littlest ones at the party, and with the trivial, as in the littlest mistake. Its tone is colloquial and often affectionate, so in formal prose smallest or youngest usually reads better.
