How is a homogragh different from homophone?

You're close! It's not "homogragh" but homograph.

Here's the difference:

* Homophones: Words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

* Examples: "there," "their," and "they're"

* Homographs: Words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and can sometimes sound different.

* Examples: "bow" (a knot) and "bow" (to bend at the waist), "lead" (a metal) and "lead" (to guide)

Key difference: Homophones rely on sound, while homographs rely on spelling.
