    I tried for dearth, but ended up with death. Deluge would have also been a great choice of words.

      Breadth is what you were looking for. Dearth’s root is dear, meaning precious and scarce. Breadth is width, so a great breadth contains a variety of things.

      Dearth actually isn’t the right word either, lol. That’s a very small selection or lack of something.

      I think we knew what you meant, though. Cheers.
