Is there a term that describes two words that are spelled differently but sound the same?
Like ‘sweet’ and ‘suite’.
I don’t think homonym or homophone or heteronym is the answer.
homonym is correct. :)
But Wikipedia says a homonym means the two words are spelled the same.
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of “rise”), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too. (Wikipedia)
