At a quiz....

[Papaleekie]

the questionmaster asked a question where he claimed there are only two examples of identical sounding words that share no common letters. I didn't know the answers, but a few days later I thought of a third example.

The answers were I and eye/ you and ewe
Any guesses what the third one is?

It's easy when you know!

auks and ox ?

[Papaleekie]

Thanks Dinky

Sounds plausible depending on your accent maybe, but not what I was thinking of.

[shaking]

auk orc

[Papaleekie]

Well, there's another one!

The one I got was similar but much more mundane.

[shaking]

heres another then ayah ire

[Papaleekie]

Ayah/Ire. Hadn't heard of ayah before. Don't know how it's pronounced.

Is it Indian?

[johnalex]

Awe / Or

[Papaleekie]

It's getting late so I'll give the answer.

OR you'll be in AWE all night.

Told you it was mundane!

I bet there's other, somewhat esoteric examples.

If you've an East Anglia accent you could have coo/queue!!
