Today my 8 year old daughter has her weekly spelling test at school. This week the words set are:

coat
leaves
note
mean
table
sound
light
point
watch
wave
fly
form

These are, as I'm sure you immediately realised, homonyms. Words that share the same pronunciation and/or spelling, as my daughter explained to me.

My alternative homonymical spelling test list is:

fluff
slip
loll
post
bug
inhale
no
new
taxes
dubya
prudence
sleaze

The usual competition rules and prizes if you can guess the multiple meanings or spellings.
