Usage

You can easily integrate this word list into your projects by accessing either the TXT or JSON endpoints or by downloading the files locally. Below are some examples of how to read, use and sometimes fetch the word list endpoint in your application. For quick access to relevant links and further details, checkout the resource page.

Note

You don't have to use the endpoint(s) to get the word list; but instead you can download the words locally and access them from there. This is much faster than using the endpoints and much more reliable as the file never fails to fetch. if all you want to do is access the words, I would recommend you download the word list locally.

Endpoints

You can access the list of words through the following endpoints:

• TXT Format: words.txt
• JSON Format: words.json

Downloads

Instead of using a endpoint you can download the files locally at:

• TXT Format: Download words.txt
• JSON Format: Download words.json

Examples

a list of examples of using the word list in your program

Python

Fetching the JSON Data from the endpoint

import requests

url = "https://cheaderthecoder.github.io/5-Letter-words/words.json"
response = requests.get(url)
words = response.json()

print(words[:10])  # Print the first 10 words as an example

c#

Reading from the TXT file locally

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Path to the local file containing the 5-letter words
        string filePath = "path/to/your/words.txt";

        // Read all lines from the file into a string array
        string[] words = File.ReadAllLines(filePath);

        // Example: Print the words
        foreach (var word in words)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(wordList[i]);
        }

      Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

JavaScript

Fetching the TXT Data from the endpoint

// URL of the TXT file
const url = 'https://cheaderthecoder.github.io/5-Letter-words/words.txt';

// Fetch the TXT file
fetch(url)
  .then(response => {
    // Check if the response is successful
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error('Status Code: ' + response.statusText);
    }
    return response.text(); // Return the text content
  })
  .then(data => {
    // Split the text data by new lines into an array of words
    const words = data.split('\n').map(word => word.trim());

    // Example: Log the first 10 words
    console.log('First 10 words:', words.slice(0, 10));

    // Log all words (optional)
    // words.forEach(word => console.log(word));
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Handle errors
    console.error('error:', error);
  });
