There are many online dictionaries, and many you can buy. Google it.

The Oxford English dictionary to be precise. The large version... not the "Concise". But since the English language either borrows or invents language on the average of a couple of hundred a year, and many words fall out of usage and become " archaic" you will never be able to know them all...

You can get the Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary on CD. It cost a couple hundred dollars. This would be the closest to ALL the words in the English language.
I doubt that you will find such a list online.
