Homonyms are words with the same sound and spelling but different meanings. Homophones are words with the same sound but different spellings and meanings. Puns are homonyms and homophones that are funny. We hope you laugh at our homonyms (and homophones).

This site began long ago as a summer father and son project. Isaac was six. He helped with everything from writing to drawing to coding the html. Some of you (all forty or so) may remember that first version called "Homonymgame.com".
For FunPun.net (Homonym Game version 2.0), Isaac serves as the technical advisor handling all of the javascript funtionality and answering Dad's ludite questions. Dad did the other stuff (writing, illustrating and site design). See more of Dad's work at davewheeler.com. See more of Isaac's work at davewheeler.com/isaac.
Special thanks to Carol Woodson for her writing, rhyming and overall editorial advice.
Have you thought of a pun or two we've missed? Are you stuck on a certain rhyme or image that's driving you crazy? Tell us about it. Maybe we'll create a new entry for your word. Maybe we'll help you get unstuck. Maybe we would just like to hear from you. So go ahead. Try us.
This is a little passion project which, as most passion projects do, has taken a lot of time and money (well, time anyway. And eventually that ends up affecting money). So please consider making a contribution.
