What is a homophone for intense?

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

However, there are words that are close in sound but have different meanings, like:

* Intents: This word means "purpose" or "goals."

* Intensely: This word is an adverb meaning "with great intensity."

While these words aren't exact homophones, they are close enough in pronunciation that they could be mistaken for "intense" in some contexts.
