A visual exploration of words that look the same, sound the same, or are otherwise easily confused. Updated weakly through 2016, now only occasionally. The book version "Homophones Visualized" is available wherever books are sold. Thanks for checking in!

Vial & Vile
Vial – (n.) small bottle.
Vile – (adj.) repulsive, offensive.
There's also "viol," an antique family of stringed instruments. But I assume anyone writing about those knows how to spell it.
A vile subsatance in a vial-Ohhhhhh! Homophones!
