    For Crazy GOOGLE says:

    If you describe someone or something as crazy, you think they are very foolish or strange. ADJ

    Someone who is crazy is insane. ADJ

    If you are crazy about something, you are very enthusiastic about it. If you are not crazy about something, you do not like it. ADJ

    If you are crazy about someone, you are deeply in love with them. ADJ

    If something or someone makes you crazy or drives you crazy, they make you extremely annoyed or upset. ADJ

    You use like crazy to emphasize that something happens to a great degree. PHRASE

    They do give suggestions but only if you are very close to the right word
    and yes the suggestions are too limited

    Hope they ramp it up soon as it is main drawback in this wonderful and simple online dictionary

    Darn, now they associate engineering with murder? lol

    Nice feature. No more typing out the "define:" tag anymore 😀

    yeh ash Since engineering involves designing or constructing to attain a result

    why not we can call murder to be engineered by someone

    And we can very well have one more stream of engineering that is killer engineering

    hahaha...😀
