Dictionary Text File [Closed]

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.

What about /usr/share/dict/words on any Unix system? How many words are we talking about? Like OED-Unabridged?

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

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

@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.
