Confusing Words or Confused Words

Hi,

I have seen 3 books with such the title, namely 2 of them say "Confused Words" while another one etitled with "Confusing Words"
It is a book or words not the living things, what should be the correct one. pleased?

Thank you and best regards,

They are both possible- confused words= words that are confused by people. However, confusing words makes more sense to me. ;-)

Thank you TDol, it is due to I have learned that Interesting is used for things while Interested is for Living things. Is that correct? so my question regarding the word "confuse" steming from that point.

Can I just say that the "confusing" should be used with a thing, such as confusing words, confusing question? So. confused should go for a living thing, such as

A confused boy says nothing to the teacher.

I don't know whether my sentence works for this purpose or not? Please correct me if it is wrong.

Thank you and Best regards,
Piak

I wouldn't say that- interesting (causing the interest) could be a person or a thing. Interested (the reaction) would generally be for people, institutions, etc.
