Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations. For example, the word "lead" can refer to the metal (pronounced "led") or to guide someone (pronounced "leed"). Heteronyms often create interesting challenges in language due to their distinct meanings and sounds. They highlight the complexity and richness of the English language.
