Let’s begin!
When a letter is silent

Many English homophones exist because one word has a silent letter. "Knight" has a silent k, "write" has a silent w, and "hour" has a silent h. The letter is not pronounced, so the word sounds like another word entirely.

📋The pairs on this page
Sound First word Second word
/naɪt/ night — the dark part of the day knight — a warrior in armour
/raɪt/ right — correct, or the opposite of left write — to put words on paper
/nəʊ/ no — the opposite of yes know — to have knowledge
/weə/ wear — to have clothes on where — in which place
/weɪst/ waist — the middle of your body waste — to use badly
/pi:s/ peace — quiet, no war piece — a part of something
/pleɪn/ plain — simple, or a flat area plane — an aircraft
