| Anyone know if there are lists of letters available. for a wordgame i should have finished a long time ago:) |
| ||
| think i found something, although seems to be some pretty dodgy(not good:p) words in it |
| ||
| I think I've (finally) found something: http://www.bookcase.com/library/software/msdos.education.linguistics.html Once there, go down to where it says "Words" and download the English wordlists. |
| ||
| thx for that, try this, the format may suite me more, not sure yet:) http://www.morewords.com/wordsbylength/ |

| Hmmm...yes, but how are you going to convert that to ASCII (or does your program need ASCII?) If it does, there's a great program here ( www.download.com/Word-List-Builder/3000-2121_4-10405027.html ) that will take any ASCII document (works well with HTML too) and adds new words to its internal dictionary. So I guess copying and pasting words from the website would work or something. Also, you could sort any of the wordlists in your program by using Len$(Readline$()). |

| program reads the files as into types 2 to 15 letters long, going to be increasing to 20 tomorrow:) saves them as a string, conversion when needed is easy and can compare them as strings using upper or lower$ downloaded utility though, looks useful about 170,000 words so far, although a number of them look suspect. Some will be american words, which I may change, others are just peeps being hopeful.:) Useful list though. |
