Hello, I am writing a small word game, and I need a way to verify whether a user-entered string is a real English word. I know that on most UNIX systems there is simply a large file of english words that developers use for similar purposes. Is there such a database in the .NET framework? And if not, is there a readily available one

I appreciate your help

I don't know of one on Windows, but the easiest thing would just be to
take one from a free distribution such as FreeBSD, I'd imagine.

Searching on the web for free dictionaries should get some results too.
