Quiz question of the week
One 5-letter word can be changed as follows to create three homophones--words that are pronounced exactly the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings:
No. 1 The word itself
No. 2 Remove just the first letter of the word
No. 3 Remove just the second letter of the word
The question is courtesy of National Public Radio's "Car Talk."
Answer next week.

Dear Anonymous,
Excellent. Congratulations. You must be homophonic.
I don't have to give the answer next week; you have already given it. But I'll publish some more homophones in the future.
