Dictionary / Wordbank/list

Post by Matt Vinyl »

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone here would be able to help, but would you know where I could get hold of an extensive dictionary / wordlist in a formt such as .txt or even some sort of database?

I decided to resurrect my word game project I started work on a little while back. I had one list but it wasn't particulary extensive, and I want to include as much as possible (can't have you chaps killing the game in one swift move!)

Any pointers?

Cheers,
Matt...

:)

there is a public wordlist called enable which you can find by goooooogling.
imho it is not a great list because of omissions/bizarre additions but it might be a starting point
nobody ever wins on those things.

Cheers! I did a bit of googling and came up with this listing (attached)

Doesn't seem to bad for my first 'hit'... :)
