The correct spelling of the phrase "wast the same league" is "was in the same league." In the original phrase, "wast" is an archaic form of "was," reflecting the use of Old English grammar. The correct pronunciation of "was" is /wʌz/ in IPA phonetic transcription. "League" is pronounced /liːɡ/ and refers to a group or category. While archaic language may be charming, it can sometimes lead to confusion and should be used with caution.
