If "wrangle" is not in your index, and if it is within the max # of edits, then it should suggest it.
Are you getting anything back from spellcheck at all? What is the exact query you are using? How is the spellcheck field analyzed? If you're using stemming, then "wrangle" and "wrangler" might be stemmed to the same word. (by the way, you shouldn't spellcheck against a stemmed or otherwise heavily-analyzed field).

OK, I just realized that "wrangle" is a proper english word, probably thats why I dont get a suggestion for "wrangler" in this case. How ever in my test index there is no "wrangle" present , so even though this is a proper english word , since there is no occurence of it in the index should'nt Solr suggest me "wrangler" ?
