Vowel Sound

Hello ,

These pairs share the same vowel sound(although they are spelt differently)

Can you help me to find another word which has the same vowel sound for every pair?

Bin =still=
Wash=hot=
Four=dawn
friend=bread=
Heard=turn=
Put=could=
heart=laugh=
Pool=soup=

Thank you so much!

Heart and laugh do, in the English kind of English.

Dawn=August=four and heart=tart=laugh work for me (British).
In the local dialect where I live (Southern US), four and laugh wouldn't match with the others.

I ignored the words that were pronounced significantly differently in BrE and just rhymed with the one I thought was more likely to be pronounced similarly in both varieties of English.

If I'm not mistaken, four=faw=for in BrE. (At least the equivalency established above suggests it.)

Thus, the same pronunciation for 'forks' and 'Fawkes'?
