As you can see, a "sentence" with 5 words is hardly a phrase. I didn't put it in the history because it's a "sentence" for translation, instead of a word that you could add it into Anki afterward. Currently I have only a very simple check for determining if the input text is a sentence or not, if it's longer than 3 words, then it's a sentence. -
It's hidden in the logic, also because the browser has very limited space for saving history. So I did it very sparingly. What's your thought?

"got it in the bag" is not a sentence; it is a multi-word lexeme (bigger than word, less than sentence), evidently, an idiom
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/be-in-the-bag
https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-phrase-got-it-in-the-bag-meanI suggest expanding the inclusion limit from "three words" to "three content words" or even to "four content words"
content words are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
as the content words magnitude is hundreds of thousands, it is practical to go with the exclusion ruleexclude from the lexeme function words
Preposition
Conjunction
Determiner
Auxiliary Verb
ParticleI estimate the enumeration of function words to be under a hundred, maybe two hundred.
after the exclusion of function words, the lexeme will be reduced to only content words (in our case - "got bag"; surely within your limit).
If the number of words is less than 4 (or 5) it is highly likely that we have a phrase at hand. Worthwhile of learning, hence storing in history. -
