A dictionary for Scratch?!
What if the new Scratch had a dictionary. This would open up an entire new type of game (word games)? This would be a huge help and open up new avenues of never before seen scratch games like: type in a random word in __ seconds, write words that begin with _ _ _, etc. It would also be great if it could include: choose random _ letter word. Write comments and ideas below.

Dictionaries can be programmed with lists.

It would take an awful lot of effort, and there would be so many words left out. Is there a way to find a huge, online list of words and paste it into Scratch?

It would take little effort actually. Just paste your list of words into a .txt document, then import it as a list.
You can try it with this list of words
