Different Categories
What are homonyms, homophones, and homographs?
The term homonym can be troublesome because it may refer to two distinct classes of words.
1. Those spelled differently but pronounced the same: such as to, too, and two.
2. Those spelled the same but sounding differently.
These are called homographs.
Homograph

ho·mo·graph ˈhä-mə-ˌgraf ˈhō-
: one of two or more words spelled alike but different with pronunciations (such as the bow of a ship, or to take a bow.)
homographic
ˌhä-mə-ˈgra-fik
ˌhō-
adjective
