Sound Alikes

Sound alike words, also known as homophones, cause confusion. Here, at SpellingCity.com, we want you to learn the correct spelling and meaning behind all your sound alike words. To practice, SpellingCity provides you with "confusing words" vocabulary lists.

We all have made those mistakes when, for instance, your friend had a hoarse throat and you sent an email that said, “Tommy has a horse throat.” Did you really mean that your friend has a horse in his throat? No.
