The search option has been removed. I can't find a word without scrolling through the entire list of words starting with each letter. The version on my phone still has the search, but not the one on my tablet.

An otherwise good app marred by annoying navigational quirks. When scrolling through a definition of a word its almost impossible not to activate one of the many links to associated words. The really annoying part is when you try to use the back button to return to the original word. Rather than returning to the previous screen, the back button returns you to the app home screen.
