Allographic Homophones

A list of 238 words by mollusque.

About

Words that can be pronounced identically but are spelled differently. I've started with unusual or extensive sets. In some of these sets, no one speaker would pronounce them all the same. I've tried to avoid variant spellings, but different parts of speech or different meanings from the same root are fair game, as are place names.

This list must be viewed in order added mode to group the sets together. See whichbe's Scambiguous, wiredweird's Allophonic homographs, and oroboros' Bi-sonics for related lists.

    “gaiter” & “gator” (This pair is brought to you by the fact that I just had to look up “jeggings”.)
