Hello, asking for help again, this time with a dingbat:

Koladogoo

and a Hetergraph..sounds the same but is spelled differently
sloppy and bare would be untidy and nudity

Any ideas for
Swing and Property ?
Thanks, folks.

Sorry, what a blunder. No wonder I'm struggling with this quiz!

Untidy and Nudity are not heterographs, they are of course, anagrams.
I actually mean Heterographs like there and their.

A small pedantic point: a heterograph is one of two different sequences of letters, not whole words, having the same sound with different spellings (e.g. "ale" and "ail" in "male" and "fail"). When this happens with whole words they are called homophones (e.g. "male and "mail").

Thank you , Torquemada. I'll file that away. A bit of pedantry is always useful.
I'll be sure to let the setter know too.

Any ideas about the dingbat or the homophone ?
