The tool is also available for premium users on the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries website. On December 31st, 2021, this old design was deprecated in favor of new design. This reposity is created to preserve this version, which works independently without relying on the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries website's resources. The new design, however, requires online server to function.

More information can be found in the Help section.
