Let's set a world record with this one !!!

[SantaMufasa]

One of our favourite family word games is on-going: We love to identify "Triple-word homonyms" such as "to, too, two". I won't spoil our "WordPlay" fun by posting our family's list, but I'll bet with all the Mensa members we have here in this Forum, you will surpass my list very quickly. This is a WordPlay that the sooner you post, the easier it is to play previously unplayed words...so get posting !!!

Again my pump-priming words were "to, too, two" (an no Proper nouns or exclusively non-English words here.)

Well done so far. Here are the current standings for original contributions (i.e., duplicates of others' earlier contributions don't count again):

CajunCenturion: 3
DrJavaJoe: 3
Lothario: 2
SteveGlo: 2
Chessbot: 1 (plus an assist for "were", homonym to "ware")

And in a new sub-category, CajunCenturion and Lothario are tied for the longest single entry in a homonym set: 7 letters.

Keep up the good work.

Interestingly, the plural of cent and scent yields the following:
cents, scents, sense, cense[/color]
