Is the number "one" and the word "won" pronounced the exact same way?
  

Top answer

There is no simple answer to this question. It varies from place to place. For me, 'one' rhymes with 'gone' and 'won' rhymes with 'gun'.

Exactly the same way ! "on" rhymes with "gone" and "fun" with "one".

For me, they are close but different. Maybe the main difference is that "won" is a longer sound.

"One" and "won" are pronounced exactly the same way. Another thing is that "on" rhymes with "gone" and "fun" with "one".

If you refer to the phonetic symbols in dictionaries,for 'won' and 'one', you will find that they are the same. I was taught that 'won' has the same pronunciation as 'one'.
