<h2>pommicket's Wiktionary-based word lists</h2>
<p>
These are various lists of words extracted from Wiktionary data dumps. Some of the code
used to produce them is available <a href="https://github.com/pommicket/wiktionary" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>
Of course, all these lists undoubtedly contain errors because Wiktionary contains errors.<br>
You can do whatever you like with them, subject to
<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Copyrights" target="_blank">Wiktionary's licensing</a>, where applicable.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
English definitions:
<a href="/wiktionary/en-definitions.txt.xz">en-definitions.txt.xz (23MB compressed, 127MB uncompressed, 1,629,482 entries)</a>
and<br>Translingual definitions:

Every English/Translingual definition in English wiktionary.
Format is <code style="white-space: pre;">WORD PART_OF_SPEECH DEFINITION</code>

<li><code>%number</code> (e.g. <i>2</i>, <i>twenty-seven</i>)</li>
<li><code>%phrase</code> (e.g. <i>you'd better believe it</i>)</li>
<li><code>%phrase.prepositional</code> (e.g. <i>beyond belief</i>)</li>
<li><code>%phrase.proverb</code> (e.g. <i>seeing is believing</i>)</li>

<li><code>%affix.circumfix</code> (e.g. <i>a- -ing</i>)</li>
<li><code>%affix.interfix</code> (rare, e.g. <i>-retin-</i>)</li>
<li><code>%symbol</code> (e.g. <i>℞</i>)</li>
<li><code>%symbol.punctuation</code> (e.g. <i>…</i>)</li>
<li><code>%symbol.letter</code> (e.g. <i>b</i>)</li>

<li><code>%unknown</code> — couldn’t be determined/none of the above</li>
</ul>
<code>DEFINITION</code> is in the wikitext format.<br>
It’s possible that there are parsing errors, but I haven’t spotted any yet.
</li>
<li>
All English animal terms: <a href="/wiktionary/animalia.txt.xz">animalia.txt.xz (62KB compressed, 192KB uncompressed)</a>.¹<br>
This includes both nouns referring to animals (e.g. <i>dog</i>) and animal-related adjectives (e.g. <i>canine</i>).
There could definitely be errors due to bad parsing (but I have checked a number of entries at random and they seem good).
</li>
<li>
The Big List: <a href="/tmt/word-list.txt.xz">word-list.txt.xz (27MB compressed, 120MB uncompressed, 9,878,558 entries)</a>.¹<br>
Every English Wikipedia article title & entry in English Wiktionary; containing only ASCII a-z/A-Z/space, max 2 words.<br>
Words labelled <i>offensive</i> on Wiktionary were filtered out (overly aggressively—some totally inoffensive words were removed in the process).
</li>
</ul>
