I am sorry if this is too off topic. I’m looking for advice and thought this might be the only place to go.
I homeschool my 4 kids and I need a “new” dictionary. Can anyone recommend a publication year that might be good. I do not want a dictionary that has changed definitions or added imaginary words based on woke ideologies.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Webster's 1828 dictionary is available for free online in several places.

I know it's Wikipedia, but the External Links section has a ton of links to digital versions of old dictionaries:

Personal anecdote: I've got an old paper dictionary from the 1970s that I don't find objectionable. People will argue that you should go earlier than that, but if you're on a budget, you don't need to break the bank.
