Local and linen are different because local means someone or something nearby or close. Linen means household things such as garments or sheets that are made of linen. Local and linen are alike because they both start with an "L" and end with an "L".

Hope this helps!

Answer: The words "local" and "linen" have two similarities, the first one is that they both start with an "L", and the second one is that they both have five letters. The difference between them is basically their meaning, local means belonging or relative to a particular area, and linen is a kind of fabric woven from flax fiber.
