Homophone

A homophone () is a word that is pronounced the same (to varying extent) as another word but differs in meaning. A homophone may also differ in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same, for example rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or spelled differently, as in rain, reign, and rein. The term homophone may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, for example a phrase, letter, or groups of letters which are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter, or group of letters. Any unit with this property is said to be homophonous ().

Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms, e.g. the word read, as in "He is well read" (he is very learned) vs. the sentence "I read that book" (I have finished reading that book).

Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs, e.g. to, too, and two.

1. It remains to be seen whether the homophone will catch on as a way to describe the new left.

2. An extra twist is that the past tense of "lead" is led, which is a homophone of the metal.

3. Homophone corner: Our television preview of Extras (last week) said: ‘This series seems to be better than the first, largely because the wider palate has allowed Ricky Gervais to move closer to his dream of becoming the British Larry David‘. The correct word, of course, should have been palette.

4. The profligate and light–minded use of the term "left" is not accurate, and therefore, it should be distinguished from the Hebrew homophone spelled with a different first letter (samekh instead of sin), which has come to mean "post–Zionist" – though that, too, is in effect a substitute for another concept: "anti–Zionist." In Israel‘s existential debate, the second term differs from the classical "left." The second "left" is the old anti–Semitism, but this time, it is home–grown.

5. There are "charades", where the clue builds up the syllables of the answer ("Sort of butter made from vegetable and fruit (6)" = PEA + NUT); anagrams, where letters in a word or phrase have to be rearranged ("Cruel twist – a source of pain (5)" requires CRUEL to be "twisted" into ULCER); clues where the letters of the answer are hidden in the clue itself ("Next race yields a bonus (5)" producing EXTRA from nEXT RAce); and other clues that indicate that single letters have to be included or deleted, or that a pun or homophone is involved.
