STUMPERS CCCLXXI

 

Can you think of two eight-letter words that are both anagrams and homophones? Their first six letters are the same, and they differ in spelling only in that their last two letters are reversed.

HINTS:

1. The words start with D.

2. A form of one of the words is found in a famous quotation from Shakespeare.

 

Answers:

 

DISCRETE  (separate)

DISCREET  (circumspect)

                      ("Discretion is the better part of valor.")
