Scrabble wordlist?
Hello,
I'm hoping someone in one of these groups can help me - I'm looking for a text file that contains all the words in the Scrabble dictionary, and no others (specifically, the Tournament Wordlist for North American play, based on the Official Scrabble Dictionary. The two are identical except that some "offensive" words have been left out of the OSD - either version would be ok for my purposes, but I'd prefer the TWL).
It's not for any commercial purposes, I'm writing a little program to practice solving anagrams for myself, and would like to use the "real" list so it helps my Scrabble playing the most. I'm sure there are files out there, based on seeing quite a few unofficial programs that must use such a list. I'd be very grateful if anyone could send along the file to me, or if it's posted out there somewhere then point me to a link.
You can use this address:

(sorry to obfuscate, I know it's less convenient to reply - but my last addresses I cleanposted to usenet got clobbered)
Thankyou!

There are lots of such lists available to anyone with rudimentary Web skills.

[nq:1]Ok, I didn't look hard enough, but it's not that easy... this address, for example, and a couple of others I checked from your list, have wordlists, but not the TWL98 list.[/nq]
If you go to , you can get TWL98 as well as SOWPODS and the official word list for French.
