Measure Between the S's

The question invites listeners to compare words by letter count. The answer measures an imaginary distance instead: “smiles” can be heard as the letter S, followed by “miles,” with another S at the end. Ask the setup like a vocabulary challenge and allow time for guesses. Say “Smiles” first, then pause before explaining the mile. The extra beat lets the surprising answer stand on its own before the spelling-based measurement makes it sensible.
