Dictionary.com Deletes User Accounts, Leaving Logophiles Devastated

Dictionary.com abruptly deleted all user accounts and their associated data, including years' worth of saved words, sparking outrage among users. The company, which previously offered a paid ad-free version with extra features like offline dictionaries, removed these features and rendered saved data inaccessible. While Dictionary.com claims the change was for app improvement, they offered no adequate explanation or compensation for lost data, leading to widespread criticism and unanswered questions.
