If you take a look at one of my previous posts, <a href="http://blog.wadewegner.com/2007/07/16/DevisingAStrategyToConsistentlyWinHangmanPartI.aspx" title="devising a strategy to win hangman" rel="nofollow">Devising a strategy to (consistently) win Hangman</a>, you'll see that I grabbed these words out of a dictionary file, parsed them into separate files based on character count, and extracted some statistics out of the data.
