My favorites...
idol, idle, idyll
peak, peek, pique
pare, pair, pear
flue, flu, flew
freeze, frieze, frees
horde, hoard, whored
sent, scent, cent
sees, seas, seize

One of those things that makes English so easy to learn.

I’d bet those 1917 kids knew all of those homophones.

Hey! We’ll put up with none of that homophonia around here! :)
