If you're just looking for a large wordlist, one such list
is the list that is distributed with many GNU/Linux systems,
usually in /usr/share/dict/words. The older list is only about 45,000
words, but some systems have a longer list of over 200,000 words.

Of course another way of obtaining a wordlist is simply to acquire a big
chunk of English text (say some combination of internet posts and
books from Project Guttenberg) and extract from it a list of the unique
words.
