50 Homophone Puzzles 50 Homophone Puzzles Two or more words you pronounce the same. They have different meanings. They have different spellings. What are homophones?

Each slide gives first a written clue. This is followed by picture clues (some with sound) and then finally by the homophones. When is the earliest you can guess the words? Can you spell the homophones on your white board before they are revealed? In most cases there are two homophones. Where there are more, the number is shown in brackets at the end of the written clue.
