This list explores homophones for the /or/ sound — words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. These homophones include the spelling patterns:/or/: or, ore, au, and aw.
For example, wore (the past tense of wear) and war (a conflict) are pronounced the same, but their meanings are very different. The same is true for bore (to make someone feel uninterested) and boar (a wild pig).
Understanding these homophones will help you spell them correctly and use them in the right context. Study these words to improve your writing and speaking skills!
