I'm working on something and I need words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings. What are these things called?

They are called homographs. homonyms sound the same like BLEW and BLUE, but homographs LOOK the same as well as sounding the same. I'm sorry I cannot think of any examples at the moment.

Homonyms are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings (a word couldn't be spelled the same AND have different meaning - it's the same word!)

To, too and two
