I need a List of All known english words.

So just a little project I want to do, see the longest/most frequent word in a massive (several billion characters) list of seemingly random letters. so need alist of known words to compare to. wondered if anyone has one compiled already or if anyone knows where i could get a hold of one? Cheers, Sebastian.

You can also check this site for a word list that might be of use. I looked at the SCOWL list and there's over 290,000 lines in the list, but there's a lot of words that are plural versions, or possessives of other words in the list so it might take some culling to get a good list out of it.
