### 2/5 — Limited amount of words

*2023-09-10*

Nearly everything I look up is not in here, which is pretty disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2023-01-03*

Crashes when searching.

### 1/5 — I paid for something and got nothing

*2019-08-18*

I paid 2.99 and the very first thing I lookup (hundred of Bucklow) is not in the 2.99 Old English Etymology.
Why should I pay you for something, Wikipedia gives for free.
 "It was known to have been in existence at least as early as 1260,"
You have provided nothing. I paid 2.99 for something and received nothing!
