Darn it! Saw everyone on here being tricked by red hearing so tried to avoid it and fell for it!

@Caerulea it did me too but I think that's where the American pronunciation comes in!

Caerulea · 29/06/2024 13:09

@RhubarbFairy if you don't see it first & get another group, you won't see it at all. It's a really sneaky one & just dumb luck if you do or don't get it.

@WhatICallMyUsername I did think that but what irritates me is more that it's not a real word lol. They do it quite often & it always grates. Pretty sure it's only there to create the red herring group. Buggers

I fell for the obvious elephant trap but, in my defence, in my English accent, while two of these words are indeed homophones, the other two aren’t. I remember running into this issue years ago when I was doing some work for Ladybird books, who had produced flash cards for teaching reading using words that rhymed. I fielded a lot of irritated phone calls from Scottish parents pointing out that in their accent “claw” did not rhyme with “door”.

I was wary of the two groups that seemed too easy - turns out one was a red herring and the other wasn't . But yes my pronunciation doesn't give homophones either . Bonus point for purple without default again !
