In terms of words with completely separate meanings (ie, not associated words or derived words), the one with the most completely different meanings is “Jack”, with about 24. However “Rose” and its homphones (words spelled differently but pronounced the same, such as ‘rows’ and ‘rose’) has slightly more.
