Recently, in my computer science class, I made a simple Hangman program in Java. The program itself isn't very useful (and my Java skills suck) , but the dictionary file (which I dumped from GNU aspell) I used might be. Also, I used the
TerminalIO library for my Java program, since we are required to use it.

Dictionary
Hm, that dictionary file is not sorted alphabetically as I was expecting. Instead it looks like it's dumped directly from a more efficient storage method such as a
directed acyclic word graph.
Usually you can get a (sorted) list of words like that also in the file /usr/share/dict/words. On my system, that list is about 12 times as big as the one you posted. Of course, you might not want to include long and esoteric words such as "hydroxydesoxycorticosterone" in your program. Even aspell's dictionary includes some long, not-so-common words like "andrianampoinimerina". Unless you want to have a "difficult" mode.
