Hi - I'm a relative novice, and need help.

I need a "dictionary" list of words (without definitions, just a word list,
about 30,000 English words)

Can you point me to a source?

I'd like to create alpha Excel lists (up to 26) which can subsequently be
queried using combination of known and "?" wildcards. Rather than key in an
entire dictionary, thought there must be a word list database somewhere
(Googling hasn't been successful).

If I'm in the wrong place, I apologise. This is probably an Access
application but I'm more comfortable with Excel programming.
