Productive prefix attached to Sino-Japanese nouns and suru-verbs to express repetition or doing something again.

再さい度どN1
再度 is a full adverb meaning 'once again' that can stand alone in a sentence, while 再 is a prefix that must attach directly to another Sino-Japanese word.
またN5
また is a native Japanese adverb used in everyday casual speech, while 再 is a formal prefix mainly found in written or official Sino-Japanese compounds.

再 is the native Sino-Japanese prefix meaning 're-' used with kanji compounds like 再開, while リ is a loanword prefix used with katakana words like リセット.

最さいN3
再 (さい, 're-/again') and 最 (さい, 'most') share the same reading but have completely unrelated meanings, so learners can mix up which kanji to write.
際さいN1
際 (occasion, time) and 再 (again, re-) are pronounced identically as さい but have completely unrelated meanings, so learners must rely on context or kanji to tell them apart.
