While reading Typoglycemia inspired me to think of two same words but different spellings. As I wondered whether it is possible to confuse between two words... because they have same letters but different spellings...
So I like to see if it is possible, if successful, it can be a damn good riddle. But after several hours of thinking and looking through dictionary, I am starting to think it is impossible...
Think of two words, with exact same letters, but different spelling, at least 5 letters, and both words have same letter to start off with and ends with..
For example; From and Form being 4 letters. both starts with f and both ends with m, and have same letters. But this is 4 letters, I like to have FIVE ore more letters.
Tarps and traps ? or did you not want them plural?
Toner and Tenor
conversation / conservation
"same words"
I guess they don't have to be homonyms or synonyms - just anagrams?
plural would make it easy...
But conversation and conversation, toner and tenor are good. smart guys
thanks,
and let see if we can keep going to see how many there are actually.
Yes markr, that is right, just anagrams.
I found another:
satin/stain.
