Homophone game

(And this is how I learn that I can't really speak English.)

 

CLUE: Sea channel doesn't bend

 

correct

 

Straight strait?

(Ok, getting my coat now.)

 

Correct!

CLUE: False enemy.

 

I got it right?! Yay! I deserve cake and a round of applause from the rest of the class.

I think I was supposed to provide a clue? Sorry, too hard for me.


PS:

Funny note: in Portuguese, “straight straits” would be


estreitos estreitos (straight straights)


Homonym words.


Maybe that’s how I got there so quickly.

 

Faux foe. You did this one already though Oops.

Clue:
Forecast alternatives

 

weather whether?

 

correct!

 

Your turn to give a clue.

 

primary superintendent

 

principal principal
Not sure if that counts as a homophone given the same spelling and closely related meanings and origins but anyway.

Clue:
Unproductive inspiration

 

It would be principle principal though - different spelling.

 

'principle' is "a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or for a chain of reasoning."
'principal' is "first in order of importance; main."
use of 'primary' suggests the latter.

 

True. I think the @Friedrich Kugelschreiber probably meant the answer to be "principal principle". The clue was wrong as you said, in that case.

 

No I meant principle principal, like the head of a school. Sorry if it doesn't count.
