their/they're/there |
They're all pronounced the same but spelled differently. Possessive is "their" and the contraction of "they are" is "they're." Everywhere else, it is "there." |

|
threshold |
This one can push you over the threshold. It looks like a compound "thresh + hold" but it isn't. Two [h]s are enough. |

|
|
twelfth |
Even if you omit the [f] in your pronunciation of this word (which you shouldn't do), it is retained in the spelling. |

|
|
|
tyranny |
If you are still resisting the tyranny of English orthography at this point, you must face the problem of [y] inside this word, where it shouldn't be. The guy is a "tyrant" and his problem is "tyranny." (Don't forget to double up on the [n]s, too.) |
