Checking words in a dictionary

Question

I need to determine if an unknown string of 5 or 6 letters is the correct word, i.e. is in the dictionary. I could pass the line / word to the online dictionary, but I need to check this line / word, which will be different every time, about 100-150 times. It seems to take a little time.

My next thought would be to try to get my own dictionary program. It should be in Java since my program is written in Java. Does the Java API already have a class for this? Can I get a descent that someone has already encoded, and all I have to do is pass a line / word to it?

My program is not used for spell checking. I want to write a program to parse Jumbled Word Puzzles when I'm stuck on a scrambled word. Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer 7

Perhaps you could try Peter Norwig Spell Checking . I think this is an elegant way to get 80-90% accuracy.
