I use a dictionary in txt format I got from Gutenberg. It is the colossal Webster's unabridged 1913 edition (with a lot of words dropped from more current dictionaries for those of us reading 19th century literature). It is 17,000 pages. I had to break it up into 35 individual text files (took a few hours) named by the first word and put them all in a dictionary folder. At 500 pages per file, they open quickly and I use search to find the word. This is a dynamite dictionary! Every possible nuance of any word is defined.
