Word Bank / Dictionary?

Not quite iPhone specific but for an iPhone game.

I am working on a word game for my next iphone project that requires a “word bank” of 2-6 letter words. I was wondering where I can find a file of all the words or exactly how something like this would work.

I see various word games on the app store and I am curious how people implement their word bank.

Thanks in advanced,

There is a site with a few word lists here. This will give you a raw list of words, but you’ll probably need to write a script or something to extract only the words with the right numbers of letters.

A good way to implement a word checklist (ie, to tell if the supplied word is valid) is with a Hashtable. You will need something more sophisticated if you want the computer to suggest words from combinations of letters or whatever.

Did you ever get this to work? I was able to get a wordlist to use hashtable using Textmanager. Then when I implement the entire wordlist. It basically times out. The initialization of the wordlist in the hashtable takes way to long for the iPhone environment.

Just wondering if you came to a solution?

Thanks.
