What does OWLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A young owl, or a member of certain small species of owl.
An owlet is most often simply a baby owl, still covered in soft down and unable to fly, sitting in the nest while its parents hunt for food. The word is also used as part of the common name for several small owl species that stay small even as adults, such as the little owlet found across Asia and Africa. Naturalists and birdwatchers use owlet in both senses without confusion, since context usually makes clear whether a young bird or an adult of a small species is meant. The word follows an old pattern of adding -let to name a small or young version of something, seen also in words like piglet and booklet.
