Holography are two words which are spelt exactly the same but have different meanings. For eg SAW (verb) in verb form means seeing something. SAW (noun) an instrument used for cutting woof.

Homographs are words that are written the same—meaning they always have the same spelling—but have different meanings. Homographs can be pronounced the same or not. For example, bass (the fish, rhymes with class) and bass (the instrument, rhymes with ace)
