How do I get access to the English Dictionary instead of putting each word in a single array? [closed]
I am about to make a game that acts like Word Bomb, but with 100 players. But Word Bomb uses a English Dictionary so that the system can know if the word contains for example this (la, po, bo, pol, bam, wer, or whatever). Any tips instead of waiting my time putting every SINGLE WORD MANUALLY in the English Dictionary?

Here is a link to a Google Document containing all words in English that are separated by commas. Hope this helped you! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QijkAGfnCLMb_aaZO0x6ErahTTnjEYGWIujj_N-2T_8

You might want to use a world-renowned dictionary. Try the Oxford Dictionaries API: https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/

You can try Datamuse API because even description of it says that it's used for word games, you can send 100 000 requests per day on it. I never did this before but using API like this is quite simple. You would need to enabled HTTP requests in studio. I really have no idea how to use this exact api but on the site it's explained so you can read it and get what you need. Basically how you use it is
local HTTP = game:GetService("HttpService") -- you need the service
Then you need link you will be requesting, all the links you can use are on the site, in this case i found rel_cns which as site says returns words that have Consonant match, let's put word "Hello" there
local Link = "https://api.datamuse.com/words?rel_cns=hello"
Then you need to request it
local Response = HTTP:RequestAsync({
Url = Link,
Method = "GET"
})
Here, Url is the link you will be requesting, it MUST be named Url, Method must also be given, Method also MUST be named Method. There are methods like: "GET", "POST", and some more. GET means that we are getting data from the api, POST means we are posting it but we are not doing that so use "GET". Now if everything worked, it will return a table. you can get the result by doing
local Words = Response.Body
Here is what the table it returns looked like in my case
StatusMessage OK
Success true

This exact rel_cns won't work in Word Bomb but if you search for some other methods on the website, you could find exactly what you need.
