What do you call a word with 2 spellings and pronunciations?

There isn't a specific term for a word with two spellings and pronunciations. Here's why:

* Multiple spellings are common: Many words have multiple spellings depending on dialect, historical evolution, or simply convention. For example, "color" vs. "colour".

* Pronunciation variations are also common: Pronunciation can vary based on dialect, regional differences, and even individual speech patterns.

* The two may not be connected: A word can have different spellings without necessarily having different pronunciations.

Instead of a single term, you could describe such words using phrases like:

* A word with alternate spellings and pronunciations

* A word with variant spellings and pronunciations

* A word with multiple forms

If you have a specific example in mind, it might be easier to explain the situation using the specific words and their variations.
