that's because you're spelling it wrong. An alliteration is like a sentence with the words having the same first letter- such as "Adam sells apples always in Alabama", or "Mallory mocked Mark mostly on Mondays".

Yeah its Alliteration. Alliteration is a stylistic device, or literary technique, in which successive words (more strictly, stressed syllables) begin with the same consonant sound or letter. Alliteration is a frequent tool in poetry but it is also common in prose, particularly to highlight short phrases. Especially in poetry,it contributes to euphony of the passage, lending it a musical air. It may add a humorous effect. Related to alliteration are assonance, the repetition of vowel sounds, and consonance, the repetition of many kinds of sounds.

Alliteration. Illiteration is not a word. Many people get this mixed up.

alliteration It's when you write something with words that all start with the same letter or sound. White whistling whips or the silly scenario went smoothly, for example

You want alliteration, where a sequence of words begin with the same letter/sound.
