Actually, "homophones" are words with the same pronunciation, regardless of the spelling. The word in question is, yes, both homophone and homonym.

I guess the literal definition does include that, but I have more often heard "homograph" for the word in question, here. I merely mention it because use of "homophone" took me down the wrong path, at first, due to my narrow reading of the definition.

Ha! Yes...sorry about that. As I said, it was likely to my detriment on that level.
p.s. I am so incredibly impressed with you & the way your mind works in the creation of these puzzles. Brilliant!

I ve just solved level 12 using the keys right in front of me.
You are really a inventor, gamemastertips. It's a brilliant one...
But i do not understand what is actually the connection between this riddle and homophones and also with the countries (mine is india).

Glad you had fun. If you know what a homophone is, you would understand. I had to specify a country because certain elements of the puzzle differ across the globe. If you didn't have any extra trouble, don't pay any attention to it.
