Look into the aspell libraries. They might have word lists you can parse through and throw into a database.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Wow, that helped with something totally different. But what I am looking for is database with words so I can do a dictionary thing on my website.

Aren't the word lists for aspell parsable?

Look through the files that downloaded with aspell. There's bound to be a word list in there somewhere.
