One example is "lead," which can be pronounced as "led" (as in a metal) or "leed" (as in to guide). "Bow" is another example, with one pronunciation rhyming with "cow" and referring to a type of knot, and the other rhyming with "low" and referring to a weapon.
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings, origins, or spellings. Common types of homophones include homographs (same spelling, different meaning), homonyms (same spelling and pronunciation, different meaning), and heterographs (different spelling, same pronunciation).
Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and are pronounced differently, while homographs are words that are spelled the same and may or may not have different meanings but are pronounced the same.

Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings. For example, "bat" can refer to a piece of sports equipment or a nocturnal flying mammal. Homonyms can create confusion in language and require context to understand their intended meaning.

a homonym is, in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.
The word "sound" is both a homograph and a homonym. It is a homograph because it is spelled the same but has multiple meanings, and it is a homonym because it sounds the same but has different meanings depending on context (e.g. "a sound" as in noise, and "sound" as in solid or stable).
