Real easy

This fails because the first one reads as "soldier" to most people, I'd say the vast majority of native English speakers would think "soldier", not that he's a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.

soldier ### brush stamp man seal?

The wax seal doesn't work that way - the stamp should be inverted.

Why use many word when one word do trick?

I think this might work better with 4 frames since 3 of these images show items that fall under the same definition for seal since their purpose is to prevent something from getting into/out of somewhere.

That’s not fair though as navy seals are named after the animal.

Also, you can use a word in different contexts, to seal wood and to seal something shut is similar actions

Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.

They have 3 alphabets and its called a "writing system" because of it.

Homophones are definitely not the thing that makes English hard. By that definition, Chinese is downright impossible language.

Soldier, plug, stain, stamp, person, seal? I don't get it.

Soldier, filter?, brush, wax, “there use to be a graying tower alone on the sea, you became the light on the dark side of me”, seal.

that's not English, that's pictures.

Have you tried any form of Chinese?

3 instances of sealing. 1 OG, 1 copycat, 1 unoriginal dude. Down to 2 uses.

Possibly an issue caused by simplified English.

Solider, some kind of plug?, applying some kind of weather proofing, wax stamp, that guy who did a single with Adamski, seal.

Monolingual native English speakers are constantly being surprised about basic universal linguistic concepts, while proceeding to think it is exceptional to the only language they are familiar with.

Chuckles in Estonian.

That's cute.

Seel

/s

Whenever I see a seal I involuntarily start humming Killer.

Soldier, orifice, varnish, wax stamp, smile, smile.

Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya

At least those are not contradictory. Imagine being told that someone was dusting a room. Well that is removing small particles! But if you are dusting some icing sugar on a cake, you are adding it!

Are homonyms/homophones more common in English? As a non-native speaker, I remember the vowel shift causing more trouble at first. Also, rules for shortening/combining words can be tricky. They're/their is the obvious example. But then there's won't, where the apostrophe doesn't simply substitute a letter in two words that work independently. And it's/its is very confusing, as possessive is normally also marked with 's. Is/are is a whole new thing if your native language doesn't distinguish.

Seals. Took me a minute.
