I believe homophones is the correct term for what i'm looking for here....here's what i'm talking about:

Three words (not just two) that are spelled differently but pronounced the same (example: teas, tees, and tease).

Also acceptable are words that we all would use, but might be informal or contractions (example: paws, pause, and Pa's)

I really don't think there are a ton of them, but i'd be curious to see just how many we can come up with.

Oh...and at least in the beginning, let's try to do it without the assistance of Google please.

would two, to and too be included in this?

through, threw, and thru

doe, dough, d'oh!

Absolutely!

Came up with 3 more last night while i was tossing and turning....let me see if i can remember them:

seas, sees, and seize

i guess i'll have to see if the other 2 come to me later.

great!

Of course the one that drives everyone online crazy:

There, Their, They're

I, Aye, and Eye

Good ones BankWoman1 and Paul.....

Still trying to think of the other two i had last night....gonna drive me crazy.

meet, meat, and mete

rapped, wrapped, and rapt


Very nice rainman.

Should probably keep names out like Cain, Kane, & cane

Yes, i agree...no proper names.

Hoard, Horde, and Whored

Knew, new and gnu

toad, toed, towed

Pause, paws, and pas (plural of pa).

Like it so much I used it above.

Road, rode, and rowed.

for, fore and four

And here I thought I was being cute . . .

Rain, reign, and rein

vein, vain, vane
