I need a database of every single valid word in English. I checked the /usr/share/dict/words file, it contains less than 100k words. Wikipedia says English has 475k words. Where do I get the complete list (American spelling)?

Also, is there a single website that gives out words for other languages too, including Asian and European ones?

A wordlist or a password dictionary is a collection of passwords stored in plain text. It's basically a text file with a bunch of passwords in it. Most of the wordlists you can download online including the ones I share with you here are a collection of uncommon and common passwords that were once used (and probably still is) by real people.

WordNet database might be helpful. I once worked on a Firefox add-on which deals with words and all kinds of simple to complicated associations between them and stuff. Looks like WordNet will be very much useful to you.

Here it is in MySQL format. And this one (web-archived link) uses Wordnet v3.0 data, rather than the older Wordnet 2.0 data.

You can find what you need on infochimps.org.

They have a list of 350,000 simple (ie non-compound) words available for free download.

Regarding other languages, you might want to poke around on Wiktionary. Here is a link to all the database backups - the information isnt organized so likely but if they have a language, you can download the data in SQL format.

I do not see http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ mentioned here, but that is where I would start if I were looking for something like this (and I was, when I stumbled over this question).

If you cannot find what you want there, and what you want is a list of english words, then you should probably spend some extra time describing how to recognize what it is that you want.

There's no such thing as a 'complete' list. Different people have different ways of measuring -- for example, they might include slang, neologisms, multi-word phrases, offensive terms, foreign words, verb conjugations, and so on. Some people have even counted a million words! So you'll have to decide what you want in a word list.

You didn't say what you needed this list for. If something used as a blacklist for password checks is enough cracklib might be good for you. It contains over 1.5M words.

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.
