Here's a breakdown:
* Same spelling: Homographs share the exact same spelling.
* Different meanings: They have distinct meanings.
* Sometimes different pronunciations: While not always the case, homographs can sometimes be pronounced differently.
Examples:
* Bat: (a flying mammal) and bat: (a piece of equipment used in baseball)
* Lead: (a heavy metal) and lead: (to guide or direct)
* Bow: (a weapon) and bow: (to bend at the waist)
Homographs can sometimes be confusing, so be careful when reading and writing!
