You don't have an English dictionary installed?
See attached images. Sorry for the screen glare and fisheye effect. I'm in the office with awful overhead lighting.
I rarely use the built in dictionary, so don't know how long this problem existed. I discovered it last night (what is 'horehound candy'?). I have let the Clara sync repeatedly and have restarted it a couple of times, but no joy. It looks like the dictionary is installed if that little check means anything. But still, I cannot look anything up. Wikipedia worked when I tested it. I have a Clara BW running 4.39.23027. I did install a few patches (remove row 3 from home screen and larger covers, maybe a couple of others I forgot about) and have the better hyphenation dictionary installed. I also have geometricprecision set. I have never messed around with replacing the installed dictionaries. |

Horehound candy is made from a plant in the mint family. It's notable for having a soothing effect on the throat, much like a cough drop.
It sounds like you probably need to connect over USB and replace the dictionary files. Perhaps your SD card is failing and corrupted the English dictionary? |
