What are two words that look the same but do not sound same?

This is a bit of a tricky request! Words that look the same but don't sound the same are called homographs.

Here are two examples:

* Read (present tense of reading) and Read (past tense of read)

* Bow (to bend at the waist) and Bow (a knot tied with ribbon)

Let me know if you'd like more examples!
