10,aam,n.," A Dutch and German measure of liquids, varying in different cities, being at Amsterdam about 41 wine gallons, at Antwerp 36 1/2, at Hamburg 38 1/4."

As you can see from the above, this is a WHOLE dictionary and not just a word list.   It's in CSV format (Comma Separated Value), so can be easily read and parsed just by using INPUT if one desires.

Information here is:
###  <-- the number of the defintion
$$$$  <-- the word itself
$$$$  <-- the word type (preposition, noun, adjective, adverb, ect)
$$$$$$$$$$  <-- the word definition

Note that there may be multiple instances for the same word, if it has more than one definition.  (Such as the word "a" above has 7 entries.)

I thought Phil, bplus, or Dav might be interested in this as they're always making and using word games.  Now, they can not only list the word but also the definition of a word for their games, if they want to.  Wink

A great find Steve!
I've been trying to create something like this for a while, but never happy with my result.
I started with the free on-line dictionary, split into 2 linked lists, Word and Meaning, then used Word to remove sections for Meaning that related to etymology etc.
Because, for all of my games all I want is these two sections, this would be adequate. But multiple meanings were a bit challenging, as in how to present them.
If this is a free download,I'll experiment with it, and look at adding meanings to some of the games. Thanks for the post!  Smile
