in reply to Random word generator

I can see that ASPELL's dictionaries are there : ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html I guess you could put all of the 5-letters-long words in 1 file (1 word on each line). Let's call it "wordbase.txt". Then all you have to do is :
# make the wordbase into an array open(FH, "wordbase.txt"); my @words = <FH>; close FH; # select the word randomly in the wordbase my $random_index = int(rand($#words)); my $random_word = $words[$random_index]; print "$random_word\n";
