Question ya think?

Yesirrreee..........another 'quiz'. A different one.The rask is to create 2 homonymns ( words that SOUND alike yet look/mean differently). Task: to take last latter of previous 'pair' & create a new set w/ that letter. For example:

night/knight & next post would use the letter't', & add time/thyme.

so for starters!

bail/bale

winnie, Why would the next start with "t"? Would it be cuz "knight" ends with "t"? Then since "thyme" ends with "e", mine should start with "e"? I don't think there's too many of homonymns, especialy in order. I thought of .... craft/kraft (kraft is a certain kind of wrapping paper.)

Yes Lor....it is "cuz knight ends w/a 't'. I just picked 'bale' as a starting point.

and there are HUNDREDS of homonyms.. I will continue w/yours

tail/tale so for clarity..NEXT one begins w/'e' ( last letter of my last word
