it is near impossible to come up with a word that is spelled the same way, but has two different meanings, and is pronounced differently. Example: wind and wind.

Lol!
Okay, maybe I'd better accept ONE example, then, instead of three!

Well, under these rules, great. Under the rules I posted in the riddle thread, it won't work, because the pronunciation is the same.

Well, exalt for trying, Asaria, but you didn't get any.
Read and read are two different forms of the same verb, and wind and wind was used as the original example.
But you came up with a lot of close-calls really quickly -I'm impressed.

Lol, I thought you were saying the mass emailing type of spam was eponymous. I was preparing to be vastly surprised that he hadn't been lynched.  |
