Dictionary should include words that are valid in crossword puzzles.

It should likely include anything that is a valid scrabble word:

Ideally, it would also contain words sorted by prevalence. What does that mean? Who knows? More commonly printed, more commonly appearing in crosswords, etc.

Would be great to include all valid spelling bee words too.

Also SCOWL seems like a good resource: http://wordlist.aspell.net/
