A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning, while a homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different spelling and meaning. For example, "lead" (to guide) and "lead" (a metal) are homographs because they are spelled the same but have different meanings. "Flower" and "flour" are homophones because they sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.
