What is the other term for homophone?

There isn't really a single "other term" for homophone. The term itself is pretty specific and widely understood.

However, you might hear these terms used in similar contexts:

* Homonym: This is a broader term that includes homophones, but also words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations (e.g., "lead" the metal and "lead" the way).

* Homograph: This refers to words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and may or may not be pronounced differently (e.g., "bass" the fish and "bass" the low musical note).

* Heteronym: This specifically refers to words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently (e.g., "lead" the metal and "lead" the way).

So, while there's no direct synonym for "homophone," these related terms can help describe the various ways words can share spelling and/or pronunciation.
