I'd like to write a word game.
Does anybody know if there are any simple dictionarys available anywhere, preferably just a text file format?

google ist your friend! Just search for text, words and scrabble
You will find some textfiles for scrabble word puzzles...

I have a couple you can use. I wrote versions of Scrabble and Super Scrabble in Gamemaker last year and I use either SOWPODS or TWL98 as the default dictionary for those games. SOWPODS is the international standard dictionary for Scrabble tournaments and contains 216,000 words from 2-15 letters in length. TWL98 is the American equivalent, containing about 40,000 less words. Both dictionaries are in text format and can be freely downloaded from the WordConnect section of my site.

May be you can look to the opensource ASpell which should use a free word database for its check.

Google for scrabble!
So obvious.
Thanks too for the ASpell tip.
