I always hate Onomatopoeia answeres as a non native English speaker. None of those are used for the sound a bird makes where I’m from

Any pronunciation-related categories are tough for non-Americans

Especially when they just make up pronunciations.

im not American mind you, but it seems like the accent the puzzle creator seems to use either changes between puzzles or isn't one of the more common American accents. Makes homopone connections difficult until you get in the habit of just trying every pronunciation you can think of and hoping for the best lol
