I am not clear on what you are looking for.  'Puns' are not 'the same words but different': the name for these is ' homonym'.  Is that what you want?  No extensive list exists, but most grammar books give several examples like these:


bear (an animal) / bear (carry) / bare (unclothed)

right (not left) / right (not wrong) / rite (ceremony) / wright (craftsman)
