## Tools (6)

- `find_words`: Finds words in the lists that start with, end with or contain a letter pattern, for example 'sh', 'ck', '-ight' or 'ai'. Returns each match with its list, grade range and page. Case-insensitive.
- `get_citation`: License (CC BY 4.0 for the compilation; the Dolch words are public domain), the citation text and the CSV and JSON download addresses.
- `get_placement_basis`: Explains the source of each grade placement: Dolch's own grade levels (1936, public domain), the Common Core Foundational Skills item that names the skill, or a typical sequence when no standard names it. Includes the limits.
- `get_word_list`: The full list: every word, its groups (for example -at, -an, -ap families), the grade range, the placement basis, the page URL and the license. Use an id from list_word_lists, e.g. short-a, kindergarten, sh.
- `get_words_for_grade`: Every different English word from the lists that cover a grade, deduplicated, with the lists each word comes from. Optional section filter (for example only sight words or only cvc). A grade is a typical guide, not a rule: programs and standards differ, and it is not an assessment of any child. English lists are placed by grade; lists in other languages follow each language's own curriculum and have no grade.
- `list_word_lists`: Lists the available word lists with id, title, language, section, grade range, the source of the grade placement and word count. Filter by language, grade (English lists whose grade range includes it) or section. A grade is a typical guide, not a rule: programs and standards differ, and it is not an assessment of any child. English lists are placed by grade; lists in other languages follow each language's own curriculum and have no grade.
