Anybody trying?

Another clue to a) above is that the word is basically in past tense and also refers to an act.

Hi Sajeetharan- Wow cannot be considered as standard english word.

Think again. These are the words of common usage only..

@Sridevi, I think of a few words that start and end with a W such as:

WINDOW, WIDOW, WILLOW, WITHDRAW/WITHDREW

I guess these are the ones you are looking for!! :)

Hi Aastha & sajeetharan: Good ones..

@sajeetharan
water(n)---a liquid
water(v)---provide wid water
is not a strict homonym as they do not completely differ in meaning.(only used as noun and verb).but ok.. it is acceptable..

Next:
Give three words, each of which have 2 consecutive ``c`` in them.
