Wrest and rest?

[Guest]

I'd like to ask another question. It turns out that wrest and rest are homophones. So how do you distinguish between them? I mean, if you say We have to wrest control the other person could think that you mean We have to rest control. Am I missing something here? Thank you in advance!

Interesting point but it would be clear from the context which was which.
