Does anybody know if there is an extensive online dictionary other than Wiktionary that lists many words on a single page, as opposed to having to search for a single word?

None of the online dictionaries that I am aware of actually display lists of words for some reason.

    Do you need just the words (wordlist.aspell.net), or words with definitions (english.stackexchange.com/questions/8233/…)

  • @BarryCarter however, definitions would be necessary if the words cant be found elsewhere in other dictionaries

You can use data from Wiktionary.

Wikimedia provides data dumps for all its websites here (ctrl+f "wiktionary"), that way you don't have to scrape.

Although the dumps seem to be regular, if you want to scrape the latest version, then there's a page on that: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Parsing.
