English Word Database

[Browni3141]

I'm just looking for a good English word database. If you know of a fairly complete one please provide a link. It must be formatted, or easily formattable, for use as an input file.

[cran]

uh, wordnet? http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/ Their binaries are old, but they update the database all the time from what it seems... Brought to you by the nearest search engine.

I don't think that's what I want. I'm not looking for binaries. I'm looking for a list, with only the words, to use as an input file in programs.
Like this:
a aardvark aardwolf...

[cran]

Well, they do have the files also, not just the binaries. The easiest one to look at is
http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/standoff-files/core-wordnet.txt

Others:

A lot to sift through, but there are a lot of words (the readme files tell the structure)
http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

If you just need a list of words just to print out:

corncob has a lot of words, if you just need a list

Thank you for your help. I think these will be good for now. I'll test it with a program to find anagrams.
