Hoot for Collins 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 to consider 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 one of several different options, or save words to a card box.
Results can also be used to show Slides, begin 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 using a 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.

Hoot for Collins uses Collins Official Scrabble Words (CSW22) for WESPA games. The companion app Hoot includes both NWL18 and CSW22. You can, however, use your own database from the desktop version of Hoot with one or more other lexicons.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
