Question

In one to two sentences, explain the difference between a homophonic pun and a homographic pun.

Answer as a middle school student.

Answer 1

A homophonic pun uses words that sound the same but have different meanings, like "flower" and "flour." A homographic pun uses words that are spelled the same but have different meanings, like "bark" (the sound a dog makes) and "bark" (the outer layer of a tree).
