here's a game homophones words spelt different but sound the same how many can we find here are some examples

there/they're/their
bare/bear
few/phew

there are millions how many can we find
go to it

pear/pare
ring/wring
pain/pane

I'm abstaining as I'm far too thick, I didn't even get a GCSE in English

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blood! Death! War! Rumpy pumpy! Triumph!

seem/seam

we/wee/oui
by/bye/bi

which/witch
here/hear
rein/reign/rain
seen/scene

ok i can see i will have to limit myself so i'm only going to add examples that have minimum 3 versions...kind of like how my parents have a 6-letter minimum Boggle rule...

and now of course i can't think of any more.

Oar, instead of 3 versions, won could restrict oneself two a sentence witch used as many as possible; it mite bee moor humerus and the lessor of too evils.
(10/27 words = about 34% four the above; repeats do not count)

Lets make it even harder...

A quote or title from a book, song or movie, using homophones. As in:

"the intoxicating whine dark see is telling us that *h*our work is dun"

<edits, and tries for double letter score, as per advice>

he he

banzai kitten
bearfoot andy
bibwitheart
house inn the woods
skidmarx (reaching)
one nein ate (reaching further)
martenb
oc knot

the only restrictions i had intended was no proper names unless its a common word usage
no foreign words
the sentence idea seems fun so ill try one
eye am a lyre i maid it plane butt ewe maid it suite

A Kit Kat is a Biscuit

OC could have got 100% for his sentence by combining homophones with phonetic displacement on adjacent words:

"eye like yew awl allot"

becomes: eye lye cue awl allot.

but I suppose that's too close to what Affabeck Lauder did with his books on Strine, and sort of defeats the original porpoise.

This sight is oar sum and the pea pull who right are sew intel i gent (yeah, yeah, the last two need work)!

Eye sea miss-ewes off its ore it's awl two off-tin.

(I remember my sister reading a fantasy series by an author who loved puns. "Isle of View" comes to mind as one of his titles.)
