Homophones are words that sound very similar, but when they are written you will notice that they are spelled differently because the actual meanings or definitions of the words are very different.
Examples:
Hole vs Whole : Hole means an opening or crack, while Whole means the entire thing
Tail vs Tale: Tail refers to the appendage that protrudes from the rear of an animal, while Tale means a story.
Maulding vs Malding: Maulding is being extremely angry because of something unfair, while Malding means being angry to the point that you begin balding and hair falls out due to stress.
Mould vs Mold: Mould means to shape an object, while Mold means fungus or bacterial growth.
