Pronunciation: write vs rite?
I have learnt that 'w' in 'write' is a silent letter, so does it mean the pronunciation of "write" is like that of 'rite'? I have never pronounced these words in the same way before, I think the 'w' should make a little difference in pronouncing it compared to "rite".Thank you very much!

These words are pronounced in exactly the same way, as any dictionary will tell you.

… write, rite (and right) are all pronounced the same, in my experience.

... and 'wright', as in shipwright, playwright.
