There are two words pronounced the same, related in meaning:

The noun "gel" is a semi-solid which has some characteristics of a liquid. The technical term is a colloid. Examples of gels are clear hairstyling products.

The verb "to jell" means to thicken or congeal (become a semi-solid), for example when making jelly. It can also be used figuratively, to mean a plan or process that comes together in a clear way (crystallizes).

Example (metaphor) : After a few practices, the players began to jell as a team.
