What is a word that spelled the same but means differerent?

You're looking for a homograph.

A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning and often a different pronunciation.

Here are some examples:

* Bow (a weapon) and bow (to bend)

* Bat (a nocturnal flying mammal) and bat (a piece of equipment used in baseball)

* Lead (a heavy metal) and lead (to guide)

Let me know if you'd like more examples!
