I'm a spoken word with meanings three. Three ways of spelling me there be. The first is an odour, a smell if you will. The second some money, but not in a bill. The third is past tense of passing around. What are these three words that have the same sound?G'Day Riddle Masters...

Maddie here! Just popping the Monday riddle in early because ah, you may have seen I accidentally sent the Saturday and Monday newsletters today...

I'M SO SORRY about this error! It was 100% my mistake, just an oversight on my behalf. I'll go into more detail in Monday's 'official' newsletter. In the meantime, feel free to answer the riddles and give me a bit of a banter for sending the Monday newsletter on a Saturday... 😂

Here's the riddle:

Good luck with this one members... it's a toughie, but not as tough as realising you've accidentally sent two emails in one morning ;)

As always if you want to see your own or others' answers, simply click the 'spoiler' button.

Happy Riddle-ing!

The answer to your riddle is "sent", "scent" and "sent".

Another similar fact that the homophones "there, their and they're " as well as a few others are available. Maybe your puzzlers would like to check for themselves:- rode, road, rowed, /// toad, towed toed .... I'd better stop my brain for from following the homophone tangent ///// The word HOMOPHONE comes from the greek "homos" one and "phonos" sound. ( not sure off the spelling of those greek roots, it is many decades since I had to use write them - although I use them, mentally, constantly.
