Question

I’m trying to build a word game in iphone. Basically, the user should be able to input a word to the screen using the keyboard(easy) and the app should be able to validate the word and suggest some other similar words (search a dictionary perhaps).

Is there a built in word dictionary on iphone that I can use. Any guidance to get this started would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

There isn’t a dictionary built in on the iphone as far as I can tell, but you can do one of the following:

1. Download a big dictionary from the Internet (it’ll come as just a text file), then ship it as a part of your application.
2. Hit a web service that has a dictionary on the server side to look for matches.
