A text file containing over 466k English words.
While searching for a list of english words (for an auto-complete tutorial)I found: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2213607/how-to-get-english-language-word-database which refers to http://www.infochimps.com/datasets/word-list-350000-simple-english-words-excel-readable (archived).
No idea why infochimps put the word list inside an excel (.xls) file.
I pulled out the words into a simple new-line-delimited text file.Which is more useful when building apps or importing into databases etc.
Copyright still belongs to them.
Files you may be interested in:
- words.txt contains all words.
- words_alpha.txt contains only [[:alpha:]] words (words that only have letters, no numbers or symbols). If you want a quick solution choose this.
- words_dictionary.json contains all the words from words_alpha.txt as json format.If you are using Python, you can easily load this file and use as a dictionary for faster performance. All the words are assigned with 1 in the dictionary.See read_english_dictionary.py for example usage.
I need to read the text file for a word and return its meaning. Any other file format will also work.

The Gutenberg Project hosts Webster's Unabridged English Dictionary plus many other public domain literary works. Actually it looks like they've got several versions of the dictionary hosted with copyright from different years. The one I linked has a 2009 copyright. You may want to poke around the site and investigate the different versions of Webster's dictionary.
