The above is a nice resource which I found that I thought I'd share for our various folks who are into word games and such.
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.
EDIT AND UPDATE
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I decided to go back to the original and redo this work for us.
Here is what the new file looks like:
A few quick points of difference:
1) This is ALL quote separated text. That means it reads really easily with an INPUT statement, without any need for parsing to take place.
2) This is just word-type-definition.
3) Since I've translated this to be all inside quotes for ease of input, if you look close, you'll see where there were old quotes in some of these entries. Those would screw up INPUT so I replaced them all from " to '' (double '). When reading these, if you don't like that, just replace them back out to quotes afterwards. (Note that I have a nice String.Replace which does that job quickly and easily for us...)

Here is what the new file looks like:
Quote:"A ",""," The first letter of the English and of many other alphabets. The capital A of the alphabets of Middle and Western Europe, as also the small letter (a), besides the forms in Italic, black letter, etc., are all descended from the old Latin A, which was borrowed from the Greek Alpha, of the same form; and this was made from the first letter (/) of the Phoenician alphabet, the equivalent of the Hebrew Aleph, and itself from the Egyptian origin. The Aleph was a consonant letter, with a guttural breath sound that was not an element of Greek articulation; and the Greeks took it to represent their vowel Alpha with the a sound, the Phoenician alphabet having no vowel symbols."
"A ",""," The name of the sixth tone in the model major scale (that in C), or the first tone of the minor scale, which is named after it the scale in A minor. The second string of the violin is tuned to the A in the treble staff. -- A sharp (A/) is the name of a musical tone intermediate between A and B. -- A flat (A/) is the name of a tone intermediate between A and G."
"A ",""," An adjective, commonly called the indefinite article, and signifying one or any, but less emphatically."
"A ",""," In each; to or for each; as, ''twenty leagues a day'', ''a hundred pounds a year'', ''a dollar a yard'', etc."
"A ","prep."," In; on; at; by."
"A ","prep."," In process of; in the act of; into; to; -- used with verbal substantives in -ing which begin with a consonant. This is a shortened form of the preposition an (which was used before the vowel sound); as in a hunting, a building, a begging."
"A ",""," Of."
"A ",""," A barbarous corruption of have, of he, and sometimes of it and of they."
"A ",""," An expletive, void of sense, to fill up the meter"
"A- ",""," A, as a prefix to English words, is derived from various sources. (1) It frequently signifies on or in (from an, a forms of AS. on), denoting a state, as in afoot, on foot, abed, amiss, asleep, aground, aloft, away (AS. onweg), and analogically, ablaze, atremble, etc. (2) AS. of off, from, as in adown (AS. ofd/ne off the dun or hill). (3) AS. a- (Goth. us-, ur-, Ger. er-), usually giving an intensive force, and sometimes the sense of away, on, back, as in arise, abide, ago. (4) Old English y- or i- (corrupted from the AS. inseparable particle ge-, cognate with OHG. ga-, gi-, Goth. ga-), which, as a prefix, made no essential addition to the meaning, as in aware. (5) French a (L. ad to), as in abase, achieve. (6) L. a, ab, abs, from, as in avert. (7) Greek insep. prefix / without, or privative, not, as in abyss, atheist; akin to E. un-."
