Is there a way to retrieve words randomly from the built in Dictionary through the SDK?
I can provide my own list of words but using the built in Dictionary allows for easy localization.

Unfortunately this is one of the areas of the iPhone that applications have no access to.
However there are a number of free dictionaries available that you could use as an alternative. It’s easy enough to convert a text-based file into ansqlite database which then makes it super easy to pick words at random.
And yes, as you point out localization is a problem with this 🙁
