HOMOPHONES

The BIG List of Homophones

As you look through this homophones list, keep in mind that some words may be
homophones only in certain areas. For example, merry and Mary sound alike in
many regions, but not in others. If you disagree with a homophone set, feel free to
ignore it. It may not be a homophone in your area, but it is somewhere else!
