Homophones

Homophones sound exactly alike but differ in spelling and meaning, which makes them a spelling problem rather than a pronunciation one. Playing them back to back confirms there is genuinely no audible difference. Note that some pairs, like ferry and fairy, are homophones in some accents only.
