Heteronyms (also known as heterophones or homographs) are words that are spelled the same, but have different pronunciations and different meanings.

Heteronyms (also known as heterophones or homographs) are words that are spelled the same, but have different pronunciations and different meanings. In some cases, the words have similar or related meanings, such as record (verb) and record (noun) - The artist will record his new record in the studio this week. In other cases, the words may be completely unrelated, like bow (a knot tied with two loops) and bow (to bend forward at the waist out of respect) - The little girl with the red bow tied in her hair took a bow at the end of the recital. Context clues are crucial to determining which pronunciation (and meaning) is represented by a heteronym.
