    There’s also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.

    Loose is when your pants is too wide.

    Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.

      Lucy’s loose legwear lost latitude, leisurely lowering, leaving Lucy’s legs largely liberated. Lamentably, Lucy’s lost leggings landed listlessly, loitering lifelessly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

      They don’t sound the same at all though.

      Lose - looze

      Loose - luice

        Interesting, I didn’t know that. FYI, there’s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.

        luːz - lose

        luːs - loose

      I think they sound different, loose ends with a curt “s” sound, while lose ends with a longer “z” sound.
