You may find a longer (possibly better, or not) list of words in:
/usr/share/dict/web2

Or similar location.

Here is the README from that directory:

WEB ---- (introduction provided by [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -------------------------

Welcome to web2 (Webster's Second International) all 234,936 words worth.

I did find a wordlist named web2 that contained roughly that number of words, unfortunately it contained far too much noise to be useful for this utility. For example it had a-z as single letters instead of just 'a' and 'i' which really messed it up. Of course if I was going to use it in a production system it would evolve over time, and I might take the time to clean a wordlist such as this to remove noise like that.

Thanks for the suggestion tho.

The table has a field for the language. My original intention was to import wordlists in several languages and to add a language selection field to the form, but it started to seem more like work than play so I didn't bother. It would be trivial to add tho.
