I use Merriam-Webster's dictionary as a reference for SpellBinding. I've never had a single issue with them until today.
I spend a considerable part of the day looking up words. Today I came across a word I haven't seen before in the MW index: closecross. What is the definition? See for yourself:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/closecross
Maybe it works better for you, but for me, the server returns an entirely blank page.
No other dictionary I've looked at so far has it defined.
Weird, huh. I tried reporting it but their contact form requires an email address, and I did not feel like blowing my email address to a corporate list to be sold and traded. And the form did not like my LibreWolf browser (many corporate sites don't like it and require Chrome these days).
After posting this I tried it with Opera and sure enough it works! So it's a bug in Librewolf....
