Lately I've been looking for more obscure words to add to my PassGen3 project.
Grabbed a copy of Finnegan's Wake, replaced the space with a new line, removed all lines with non-alphabetic characters, sorted, uniquified, then removed any words found in /usr/share/dict/american-english for 38,278 words.
Next, use /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane to build trigrams, then create pronounceable pseudowords.
Curious if I can reach 131,072 unique words.
