Did you know that the word "fish" can be spelled "ghoti?" It's true. If you take the "f" (gh) sound from the word "tough," the "i" (o) sound from the word "women," and the "sh" (ti) sound from the word "position" you have the word (or at least the sounds) of the word "fish." This is the basis for this little quiz. The following cryptic words are comprised of different words/sounds. See if you can figure out all ten. Good luck!
