Question

Pretty much, I’m writing a program that will run the same code on each word in an array. I have made an array with about 50 words just to try it, and it works great.
Does anyone know of a way to get all words in the English Language (or at least a fairly large amount, like the contents of a Dictionary) into a Java array?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Answer 1

Having large amount of “words” in the array will be highly inefficient. But if your purpose is just experimenting, you can

• Copy large amount of text in a text file.
• Read the contents of that text file into a string
• Tokenize/Split the string contents on whitespace
