I've never been to Boston, but been to a few major cities in north America and everywhere I've been would pronounce these the same.

I swear ta god I once read a story about this guy, around the time of Turing and Bletchley Park, who was an expert parachutist. His boss had a 4th floor office. And every time this parachutist left his boss' office, he'd just jump out the 4th floor window because even without a parachute, he knew how to land without hurting himself.
(I'm not intentionally making this up, but unfortunately I can't find any references online to it....)

Okay so maybe not homophones but if there was a blaring fire behind you, you mind mishear the person below. It's still funny.

This ishomophonobia, plain and simple

Funny, one of the connections categories for today was homophones.

Did you have to work today or do you do daily puzzles outside of office hours?

Is this a pronunciation thing? Those words are not homophones where I am
Most everyone I know would pronounce them the same. The Pacific northwest hates pronouncing the letter 't', either turning it into a 'd' sound, slurring past it, or at the end of words dropping it entirely
I'm from the PNW. I do pronounce the T sound in latter. I also put more emphasis on the first syllable than I do when pronouncing ladder.
I'm from NJ and there's no audible difference between ladder and latter here. Both have a D sound.
Americans pronounce Ts as Ds
Once had some twat laugh at me for the way I pronounced "waddur boddle"
