Also some independent words can have different readings. Eg. 紅葉 is both こうよう and もみじ.

大人気 is my favourite of those, as a particularly long ambiguous homograph where the two common readings don't even have overlapping meanings.

Indeed, that one can be funny especially when split over a line ending. You start reading it as one, and no, it was the other. I've had this experience several times with this specific word.

(1) 大人気 (おとなげ, otonage) - maturity

(2) 大人気 (だいにんき, daininki) - very popular
