Hoot is a study tool for players of word games like Scrabble and Words with Friends. While Hoot can show anagrams for a set of letters, Hoot is much, much more than an anagram tool

Hoot has multiple search options (see below), and the entry screen lets you enter multiple parameters including the number of letters, beginnings, and endings. You can specify sort order with two specifications (sort by, then by). Results are displayed in common format showing hooks and inner hooks with score in the margin. You can optionally show probability and playability rankings, and number of anagrams.
Look up the definitions of words by clicking on the word in the results. Both words and definitions are local, so Internet isn't required.

Use wildcards (?, *) in many searches, and pattern searching is available using a modified regular expression engine. See www.tylerhosting.com/hoot/help/pattern.html

With each list of results, Hoot includes a context menu to let you expand your search based on a word in the results. Long clicking on that word lets you search using several different options, or save words to a card box.

Results can also be used to show Slides, begin quick quizzes, or review for anagrams, hook words, or blank anagrams. To support a more extensive word study plan, results can also be added to Leitner style card boxes. Card box quizzes can be filtered. Furthermore, card box quizzes can optionally be taken in flashcard mode.

In addition to the search options you can use the app as an adjudication tool to handle word challenges in club play and tournaments according to NASPA rules. Enter multiple words and the app will tell if the play is acceptable without identifying which words are valid.

Lexicons
------------
The current version of Hoot includes the NWL18 and CSW22 lexicons. NWL18 is the successor to OWL3/OTCWL16 and is published by NASPA. CSW22 or the Collins lexicon is used in most other English speaking countries. You can, however, use your own database from the desktop version of Hoot with one or more lexicons. (see below). Some lexicons can be downloaded from the Hoot website and imported into the app.
