The difference between "dual" and "duel" is that "dual" is an adjective synonymous with such terms as "twin", "double", "twofold" and "double-edged" while "duel" can be a noun or verb synonymous with such terms as "rivalry", "battle", "struggle", "competition", "combat", "fight" and "contend". Example only: Some days, because I take the bus to work, I face the dual challenge of putting other riders' needs before my own when necessary and dueling with certain coworkers who go out of their way to be mean.
The difference between "hurdle" and "hurtle" is that "hurdle" can be a noun or verb synonymous with such terms as "obstacle", "barrier", "leap", "jump", "skip", "bounce", "overcome" and "conquer" while "hurtle" is typically a verb synonymous with such terms as "scurry", "rush", "hurry", "throw", "hurl" and "toss". Example only: This hurdle is too wide for you to try to hurtle yourself over it, so I'll show you to the bridge across it.
The difference between "floe" and "flow" is that "floe" may be defined as "floating ice formed in a large sheet on the surface of a body of water" while "flow" can be a verb or noun and is synonymous with such terms as "stream", "pour", "drift", "slide", "flood", "overflow" and "influx". Example only: I wouldn't encourage ice skating on that floe since it's obvious that it moves too easily when the water surrounding it flows.
