What is a homophone for ferry?

There isn't a perfect homophone for "ferry" in the English language. A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and spelling.

While some words might sound similar, they don't have the exact same pronunciation:

* "furry" is close, but the "r" sound is more pronounced.

* "fairy" is also similar, but the "ai" vowel sound is different.

So, while there isn't a true homophone for "ferry," you might use one of these words in a context where the meaning is clear from the surrounding sentence.
