Homographs are words that have the same spelling, but have different meanings. They may, or may not, sound the same. For example: the word, lead, as in the metal, and the word, lead, as in to guide. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings, and are often spelled differently. For example: the word, flower, and flour. Flower is a plant, while flour is what you use to bake cakes, pies, pastries with. Homonyms are words that share the same spelling or pronunciation but have different meanings. For example, bat can be a homonym because it is both a flying mammal and a piece of sports equipment.
