Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The /k/ sounds in "kill" and "skill" are examples of allophones, which are variant forms of a phoneme that occur in specific contexts without changing the meaning of the word. In this case, the /k/ sound is produced slightly differently in the context of "kill" versus "skill," but it does not alter the meaning of the words.
