What is a word that sounds the same and spelled same?

This is a bit of a trick question! There are many words that sound the same and are spelled the same. The question is really asking for a word that is a homograph, meaning it has the same spelling as another word but a different meaning.

For example:

* Bat (the animal) and bat (a piece of sporting equipment)

* Can (a metal container) and can (to be able to)

Let me know if you want more examples!
