The /ʊ/ vowel is usually spelled <oo>, <u>, and <oul> in should. The /əʊ/ diphthong is spelled <oCe>, <oa> or <ow>. The computer also found the pair luring/lowering, but I have taken that out since the /ʊə/ diphthong in luring is best treated as a distinct phoneme, and some speakers would use a palatal glide in any case.
This is a contrast between a short vowel and a diphthong, fairly close in their starting positions in the mouth. There is some likelihood of confusion though not associated with any one group of learners.
