What is the homograph for play?

The homograph for "play" is "play".

It's a bit of a trick question! Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. "Play" has multiple meanings, such as:

* To engage in an activity for enjoyment or recreation: "The children were playing in the park."

* To perform a role in a play or film: "She plays the lead character in the movie."

* To perform music on an instrument: "He plays the piano beautifully."

So, while there are multiple meanings, the word itself is the homograph!
