daydreamer Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 hello. I am making a spelling game. It will take a random letter away from a word, and then display it to the user. the user then supply's their answer. Does anyone know where I can download the dictionary in a mysql database, and how big itll be ( i need letters that are 4+ in length)?! Or API/cURL access to a dictionary, but my bandwidth is limited. Will my server have a dictionary accessible from PHP (I am using Linux). Thanks.

Daniel0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 You can extract them from an aspell dictionary. I've done that for you for English: UTF-8: http://daniel0.net/dict-utf8-en.txt.bz2 ISO 8859-1 http://daniel0.net/dict-en.txt.bz2 You'll have to import it into a database and filter out the words you don't want yourself. There are 137,883 words in there. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149559-word-dictionary-apimy-own-database/#findComment-785735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
