Are you using the right word? In our text-heavy world, it’s easy to use the wrong version of a homophone. What are homophones? Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently. Like to, too, and two.

That covers the setup, so let’s go.

- Sole Soul
- What you might get when Shakespeare is prevented from entering somewhere.
- Barred Bard
- Something you’d work on at the gym or something you’d work on at a seafood restaurant.
- Muscle Mussel
- How many cookies are left in the bag after my kids find them or a woman who took holy vows.
- None Nun
