Actually homonyms are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.
Homophones are words that sound the same.

Add one letter to each word below - anywhere in the word - so that each numbered pair becomes two words of opposite meaning. For example, adding P and L to PLUM and SENDER would result in PLUMP and SLENDER.

  1. BUGLER EXERT
  2. KID MAN
  3. STALE SHAY
  4. RAID SOW
  5. FLAT SIN
