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.
How this works is I’ll give you the clue and you just give me the homophone. I won’t make you spell it. If you’re curious about the spelling, you can see the show’s transcript on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
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
- A section of glass or what you might feel if you cut yourself with glass.
- Pain Pane
- A royal seat or what a celebrity might have done with an opening pitch at a ball game.
- Throne Thrown
- A step on a ladder or what you do to a wet rag.
