Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and/or spellings. For example, "flower" and "flour" are homophones.
Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader. They can also be used to suggest multiple meanings, which is common in poetry and creative literature. Homophones are a subcategory of homonyms, which are words with different meanings that either sound the same or are spelled the same.
