I don't know if this is a proper game, but a couple of years ago my friend's tennis coach asked her to find two words that sound identical, but are written slightely different. Two words like piece and peace. I love that kind of stuff and thought up several German words like that. See if you can come up with words that fit the requirements! I'm sure every language has them and I would be curious to know more! Of course languages like Chinese are not included because there are just far too many and it's nothing special...
I start:
German
Wahl (election)
Wal (whale)

Door (English)
Door (Dutch)
Pronounced the same, spelled the same and means the same, ne? I'm not 100%. Perhaps it's not pronounced the same...
