In phone the ‘o’ has an /əʊ/ soundIn clock the ‘o’ has an /ɒ/ soundIn for the ‘o’ has an /ɔː/ sound So the same letter—’o’—has three different pronunciations—/əʊ/ like in phone, /ɒ/ like in clock, and /ɔː/ like in for. 2.

BBC Learning English - Course: intermediate / Unit 21 / Session 1 / Activity 2 Boys in the street The boys are playing games on their mobile devices - smartphones and a tablet computer. They don't seem to be interested in what is going on around them, even though they must be in a sort of an ancient city.
