Are the words days and daze homographs?

Yes, "days" and "daze" are homographs.

Here's why:

* Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.

* "Days" is the plural of "day," referring to units of time. It's pronounced with a long "a" sound (like "say").

* "Daze" refers to a state of confusion or bewilderment. It's pronounced with a short "a" sound (like "cat").

So, while they are spelled the same, they have different meanings and pronunciations, making them homographs.
