Well, the first link has the definitions of crim from Webster Dictionary 1913.

The entry puzzles me. The definitions given to "crim" seem done for the word "crimp". Do you know why it is so? Is crim equivalent to crimp?

That's a typo on that page. The definition given is for the word crimp. However crim can be found in most of the British dictionaries I have here. It's a colloquial term for "criminal".

Thanks, Tim.
I know crim is a colloquial term, so let's make it a rule to allow colloquial or slang terms in this game, like: croc for crocodile cark/kark for carcass carn for "come on" camo for camouflage clit for clitoris even if they cannot be found in regular dictionaries or Cambridge Dictionary. ok?

At least croc(k) and clit are commonly used in the English-speaking world. Most of the dictionaries you can find online are either for learners of English or are simply American dictionaries. I don't think you can find any free British dictionaries online that are aimed at native speakers.
I am not against using colloquial or slang terms. Tim

Hi Glot, guess it's quite alright as long as it's an "English" word found in English dictionaries, be it a slang or a vulgar word. Besides, Aussi English is also English, right?
