Dear Moravc,
 
I did originally Post a List of about 14,000 Minimal Pairs here on the Forum, so Members could copy them.
 
However, I do not wish to be sent to Prison for ESLP Misconduct, (English Stupidity, Loud-mouthed Pea-brain), so I show below the Link to the site where I found them.

Remember that some varieties of English have quite predictable minimal pairs which you won �t find in others  eg 
Scottish Standard English �pour � and �poor � (/or/ and /ur/ respectively) vs Southern Standard British English (/pɔː/ - no distinction)

I posted a LOT of tables with not just minimal pairs, but whole word groups, differing only in the vowels. Here are the links:

I hope they prove helpful to you. I can email a Word 2007 version if you PM me. (I don �t mind points, but I �m not trolling for them.)
