Summary

Homophones and homographs are words that have different meanings: homophones sound alike but are spelled differently, and homographs are spelled the same but pronounced differently. A second-grade homework assignment to see who could generate the largest list of homophones ignited an interest that inspired the first edition of this dictionary (1986)
