What is the Same Word That Sounds the Same?

Published in Wordplay 1 min read

This question plays on the concept of homophones, words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

Here are some examples of homophones:

  • To, too, two: "I want to go too, but I only have two dollars."
  • There, their, they're: "There are many books on their shelf, but they're all dusty."
  • See, sea: "I can see the boat in the sea."
  • Hear, here: "Can you hear me here?"

The trick in the question is that it asks for a word that is the same word. This means the word must be spelled the same and have the same meaning.

Therefore, the answer is any word at all!

For example:

  • Cat sounds the same as cat.
  • Run sounds the same as run.
  • Happy sounds the same as happy.

The question is a bit of a wordplay puzzle, designed to make you think about homophones.
