Homophones are words with different meaning that sound identically (e.g. here vs. hear);
homographs are words with different meaning that are spelled identically (e.g. '"bow" before the emperor' vs. '"bow" and arrow'); homonyms are words that are both pronounced and spelled identically, but still have different meanings (e.g. 'They were too "close" to the door to "close" it.')
