www.puzzlers.org has numerous word lists & dictionarys in text
format that can be downloaded. I recommend you insert them into
some form of database. I have most of them in an Access db and
it's 95 MB. That's a worse case as I also have some value-added
stuff, the OSPD alone would be a lot smaller.
