Autocorrect redirect to the wrong URL based on a word after permalink

Description
Sometimes, when the URL of a post ends with a keyword following the slash it redirects to a different page based on the keyword rather than the permalink.
For example:
Let's take this wordpress post URL:
[http://awishyourheartmakes.com/virtual-services/
]
If I had the word "super" at the end of the URL:
[http://awishyourheartmakes.com/virtual-services/super
]
rather than redirecting to http://awishyourheartmakes.com/virtual-services/
It will redirect to
http://awishyourheartmakes.com/super-fun-santa-maria/

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.
This is expected behavior, WordPress is trying to guess the correct URL using the redirect_guess_404_permalink() function.
If you'd like to change this behavior, there's a plugin for that: Disable URL Autocorrect Guessing.
