• Homophones are words having a different meaning and spelling but the same pronunciation.
• Homonyms are words having the same pronunciation and also spelling, therefore, they can also be said to be homophones and homographs( words with same spelling but different meanings).
• Example- band- refers to a group or bracelet ( spelling and pronunciation are same).
