Spellbound
The names of many letters sound like words. For example, U sounds like YOU, YEW, and EWE. T sounds like TEA and TEE. R sounds like ARE. Can you read the following words (which all sound like the names of letters) and figure out what is being spelled out? For example, BEE EYE GEE is BIG. If you can't get them right away, try reading them out loud. If that doesn't help, close your eyes and have a friend read them out loud to you. Click the question marks to see the answers.
