    Which 2 five-letter words do not change their pronunciations when only 4 of their letters are used?

    Question #105821. Asked by shalomnow. (May 24 09 10:45 PM)

    		Many 5-letter words would still be pronounced the same with only 4 letters used...Reign/Rein, Kneed/Need Scene/Seen Tease/Teas Rowed/Rode etc...

    Two 5-letter words retain their pronuciation when 4 of the 5 letters are removed: aitch and queue.
