(In reply to No Subject by meehishyped)

all of these words are homonyms:

once-ones

flour-flower

tern-turn

thirsty-thursday(?)

This could have been a much harder problem. Meehishyped has a great idea. If the original words had been
ONES FLOWER TURN THURSDAY
it would have taken two steps to get numerals.
