What is the difference between practice and practise?
I am familiar with the word “practice”, but read “practise” for the first time today. What is the difference?

The difference is mostly seen in British English rather than American English, but Practice tends to be a noun whereas practise is seen as a verb:
Practice makes perfect. - Practice is the noun
I am going to practise my handwriting - Practise is the verb

Well, not sure I've ever seen practise before, or forgotten, but I googled it, as one does.

==>
In British English, which is also called International English, practise is a verb and practice is a noun. American English tends to avoid practise altogether, using practice as both the noun and verb form.
...
In American English, practice is also used as the verb. It means “to do something repeatedly in order to master it” or “to pursue as an occupation or art.” So a churchgoer can practice their religion, just as a student might practice the violin.
