to be homophonous .

Homophones that are spelled the same are both homographs and homonyms. For example, the word read, in "He is well read" and in "Yesterday, I read that book".

Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs, e.g. to, too, and two.

Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader (as in crossword puzzles)
