Homophones beginning with V #AtoZChallenge

For this year’s Blogging from A to Z in April Challenge I am writing about words. I hope my posts will interest readers, who are fascinated by words as I am. A few years ago I began to compile a list of homophones. I’m not the only person, who has done this – other lists of homophones are available online. I haven’t found homophones beginning with every letter of the alphabet, so for some letters I am only including anagrams.

Homophones are words, which are spelled differently, but sound the same.

(More details in my theme reveal.)

Can you think of any others beginning with V?

Anagram corner: VILE, EVIL and LIVE are anagrams. Another example of three words using the same letters appeared in my post for the Letter D.

(If you have been following my posts you will have spotted that the first of these appeared for the letter E as well!)

Can you think of any others?

Anagram corner: UNITE and UNTIE are anagrams. They can also be opposites: if two things are UNTIED, they are no longer UNITED.

*Many people pronounce tortoise as it is spelled.

Anagram corner: TROUT and TUTOR are anagrams. A TUTOR might enjoy eating TROUT.

Another T anagram appeared in my post for the Letter H.
