There are several word lists at the National Puzzlers' League website.
They have the official Scrabble players dictionary list, which seems to be popular, and the "Moby" list which has 354,984 entries. That has to be enough words.
Hope that helps.

Another possibility worth investigating is Grady Ward's Moby Project, which is all public domain material.
- Moby Hyphenator - 185,000 entries fully hyphenated
- Moby Language - Word lists in five of the world's great languages (for some definition of great, I guess)
- Moby Part-of-Speech - 230,000 entries fully described by part(s) of speech, listed in priority order
- Moby Pronunciator - 175,000 entries fully International Phonetic Alphabet coded
- Moby Shakespeare - The complete unabridged works of Shakespeare
- Moby Thesaurus - 30,000 root words, 2.5 million synonyms and related words
- Moby Words - 610,000+ words and phrases. The largest word list in the world
There's all sorts of different files to play with. A Perl hacker's playground :) I once wrote a script based on the pronounciation file to pick out rhyming words for an online game.
As for "every single word in the English language", that's rather hard to pin down. First to find them all, and then to agree on them. Should "yclept" be included? "blog"? "favour" versus "favor"?... but don't let that stop you from having fun.

On the contrary, I think it's a very cromulent project.
