A homophonic pun plays on words that sound alike (homophones) but have different meanings, often with different spellings (e.g., "you’re" vs. "your"). A homographic pun relies on words that are spelled the same (homographs) but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations (e.g., "lead" the metal vs. "lead" to guide).
