homophone

A word pronounced identically (or nearly so) to another word but different in spelling and meaning.

A homophone is a word that is pronounced identically to another word but differs in spelling and meaning; a near-homophone is close enough in sound to cause the same kind of mix-up without being fully identical.

Examples

  • to / too / two

  • their / there / they're
