[dictionary] Dictionary text file

I am writing a program that needs A LOT of words of the English language. I am trying to find a dictionary file that has a lot of words. Does anyone know of a good source? I tried many sources but they don't seem to have it.

For an English dictionary .txt file, you can use Custom Dictionary.

You can also generate a list aspell or wordlist with own settings.

Also you can take a look at http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

Only english words: http://www.math.sjsu.edu/~foster/dictionary.txt

Also take a look at:

• http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

@Future-searchers: you can use aspell to do the dictionary checks, it has bindings in ruby and python. It would make your job much simpler.

350,000 words

Very late, but might be useful for others.

There's also WordNet. Its data files format are well-documented.
I used it for building an embeddable dictionary library for iOS developers (www.lexicontext.com) and also in one of my apps.
