alike
Hard to distinguish
Alike means similar or in the same way.
Two things that look alike resemble each other: The twins dress alike.
It often follows a pair: young and old alike, critics and fans alike—meaning both groups equally.
As an adjective, alike is predicative only: you can say they are alike but not "alike people."
