I don't need an online dictionary. What I need is pretty much a text file that contains a lot of words(like a dictionary). I could make one of my own, But i'd rather not take the time if someone else has already done so.

The purpose is so that I enter a string into a function and the function can quickly check through and see if the string is an actual word or not

Google for 'word list' and hit the I'm feeling lucky button. How hard was that?
