They’re not long out the oven, before you find them gone,
There’s nothing quite like scoffing down a warm and buttered scone.
Though I admit deception, quite a simple little con,
It don’t sound right till you recall that scone’s a heterophone.

Scone is a word that can be pronounced in different ways. I’m not sure if it’s a true heterophone given that both pronunciations have the same meaning.
Try as I may I couldn’t find a word to define instances such as this. Is there one, can anyone educate me?
