What is homonym for hot?

There isn't a perfect homonym for "hot" in the sense of being a word with the same spelling and pronunciation but different meaning.

However, there are some words that are close:

* "Hot" can also be pronounced like the word "hote", which is a French word meaning "hotel". This is a homograph, which is a word that has the same spelling but different meaning and pronunciation.

* "Hawt" is a slang spelling of "hot", often used in online slang and text messaging. This isn't technically a homonym, but it's close enough to be considered a variation.

It's important to remember that "homonym" refers to words with the same spelling *and* pronunciation. Therefore, "hote" and "hawt" don't quite fit the bill.
