There are words that have the same pronunciation but
differ in spellings. They are called Homophones. (काही
शब्दांचे उच्चार (pronunciation) सारखे पण spelling आणि (meaning)अर्थ वेगळे असतात
अशा शब्दाना Homophones असे म्हणतात)

Sometimes the words have the same spellings and
pronunciation but can have different meanings in different situations. They are
called Homographs. (काही शब्दांचे spelling आणि pronunciation सारखेच असतात परंतु त्यांचे
meaning(अर्थ) संदर्भानुसार वेगवेगळे असतात. अशा शब्दाना Homographs (समाक्षरी शब्द ) असे म्हणतात)
For example, (a) watch - observe watch - shows time
(b) fair - not very good, not very bad
fair - an exhibition
and sale of items
