Sty or sty means a building used to house pigs--
The farmer lectured his employees on the proper way to clean the sty.
We can hear the pigs grunting in the sty, although the farm is on the other side of the hill.
Clean your room! This place looks like a sty!
Stye or stye ( rhymes with sty, sometimes spelled sty ) means a kind of eye infection, accompanied by swelling and redness of the eyelid--
He has a stye on his eye, and doesn't want to come out with us.
The doctor said to come to his office if that stye isn't better in a couple of days.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"No wonder he has a stye on his eye; he keeps his house like a sty."
