Dictionary not comprehensive

Literally, the longest words are the less commonly known and because of that it says that it's incorrect, but it is in the dictionary.
There is no option to send feedback on missed terms either which is the most frustrating part.
Basically the bigger your vocabulary is the more you are penalized because they claim that the words don't exist. It is not about spelling, the word is literally treated as if it's not a word at all.

Name a job - aircraft painter? Not a job
Name an instrument - soprano violin?
Not an instrument

Just a few easy examples. Paid to remove the ads because I was enjoying it but this stuff happens and now I am regretting paying for a low comprehension half dictionary.

Absaloutely horrible

It removed regular answers like snakes and ladders Zara hersheys.

Bugs that need fixed

Cardiologist is a profession, Socrates is a name that starts with S, and Saint Bernard isn’t wrong spelling for the dog breed st is shorthand for saint and street.

Needs updating

I really do enjoy this game, I don’t really care about the ads and what nots, but your possible answer pool needs to be updated,
Question: name a cartoon character
I wrote: Lisa Simpson,
“Wrong did you mean Bart Simpson?”
Like wth?
Also name a popular tea or herbal infusion brand and apparently “Lipton” is wrong, which is a globally popular brand

Rigged

Bots can type anything just random letters and it will accept it, but apparently tuscany is no longer in italy. Cheating, lame game. Ads after every single round. Can’t stand when pure stupidity is allowed in these games. Do better.
