I don't want a list of words with definitions next to them. I just want a large list of as many essential, useful words as I can find. English is my first language, so I'm doing this to enrich my vocabulary, not to learn the language. You might say, "Look through the dictionary", but that is not efficient because I just end up coming accross mainly obscure words that I won't end up using. I've found sites that are perfect and have a whole bunch of essential vocabulary words, SAT sites, GRE sites and the like. The problem is that the lists take up too much space.They're arranged so that the definitions are next to the word. And you cant just select and paste the words without also pasting the definitions, so it ends up being over 100 pages. I could just extract each word one by one, but that would take hours. I just want a list that I'll be able to paste into Word and shrink the type down so it takes up less space. Is there a site that has lists of words written like a run-on sentence?
