Question

Am i using homonym correctly in this sentence, and is the sentence grammatically correct?
"Even the word right, meaning correct, is a homonym, or a words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but have different meanings, is a homonym for right, as in right-handed."

Answer 1

Yes, it is used correctly.
No, the grammar is not correct.

a words that are?
and you have a very run-on sentence there
don't be stingy, use another period... or two

Answer 2

Try this. Keep it simple, I always say.

"The words right, meaning correct, and right, as in right-handed, are homonyms. Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but with different meanings."
