There are ways to grab random words, but you need a place to grab from, one that comes to mind, is to get a nice long pure text document, just about anything to act as your words pool, then just grab words from it.

To avoid repeats, check the words you are grabbing against those already in your collection, and if it is repeated, grab again.

If you find this not possible, either because it could be slow, of because you have no access to FSO, than, auto-create a XML file with all the words from the text file, discard repeats and use the XML file as your words backend and add more to it as you need.

Hows that for an idea?

It's a good idea, thanks!  I am looking to have access to every word in the English language though.

And I don't have Dickens on my PC LOL

Right, every single word?

That could prove to be alot, anyway, I gave it some more thought, and just like there are already available databases of about anything ready for one to import and use, so there's got to be a dict database aswell.

Check this up: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

It contains a few pure text files in different formats with a collection of english words, I suspect it may not be completed, but should provide a good start for you. The unofficial release contains more words than the official, check them up.

From this text file you can create a database of words with ease.

For further word lists refer to: http://www.net-comber.com/wordurls.html

Let us know how it went.

Thanks for that.  I'm just going to be using it to run some SEO tests.
