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

It's free and from what I can tell doesn't even require any license or attribution. It was based off this work, which was based off Project Gutenberg: https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~ralph/OPTED/

If you don't mind doing a little parsing yourself, you might prefer to grab the versions from here instead. They have more of the definition without certain things being truncated off. The only problem is they aren't CSV and you'd have to parse the words yourself.

Word before (
Type between ( )
Definition after )

I may take a shot at converting the original over for us sometime later. Knowing there's more to it out there just bugs me as a digital packrat, thinking I'm leaving information sitting on the wayside. LOL!
