What is a homonym for chilly?

There is no perfect homonym for "chilly" because it's a bit of a tricky word. A true homonym has the same spelling and pronunciation but a different meaning. "Chilly" is only a homonym for "chilly" if you consider the different meanings of the word itself.

Here's a breakdown:

* "Chilly" can mean cold (e.g., "The weather is chilly today").

* "Chilly" can also mean a type of pepper (e.g., "Add some chili to your soup").

So, while there's no perfect homonym, you could argue that "chili" is a near-homonym due to the shared pronunciation and the different meanings of "chilly."
