I was in need of a english word list for a application and I was searching for a complete list. First and formost What they are saying around the internet that there’s no such thing as a complete list. English Language has lots of words and the count increases when you add slangs or science terms or other categories.
So I will be sharing some of the sources I have found which can save you some time if you need it at some point.
and the cat command showed the full word list in the terminal. If you are sure that you dont need more than this then you can insert these words into a mysql table easily.
Replace column with your column name which is of type VARCHAR.
Save the sql file in csv format(you can do that from excel save as dialogue) and then insert this into your table. I have used Sequel Pro to insert the csv into the table. If you face any problem doing this you can ask for details in comment.
And here are some other links where you can find word databases(xls,csv or sql format) too.
English Words list are needed if you are building applications like Dictionaries or crosswords puzzle or any kind of word games.
