I believe it will return the terms that are most similar to the queried terms but have a greater term frequency than the queried terms. It doesn't actually care what the term frequencies are, only that they are greater than the frequencies of the terms you queried on.
I do not know your use case, but you may want to consider using "spellcheck.alternativeTermCount" instead of "onlyMorePopular". See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpellCheckComponent#spellcheck.alternativeTermCount and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2585?focusedCommentId=13096153&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13096153 for why.

Hello all, I was wondering what does the "onlyMorePopular" option for spellchecking use as its threshold? Will it always pick the suggestion that returns the most queries or does it base its result based off of some threshold that can be configured? Thanks!
