Your best bet is likely to be to go to the Grease Pit at Wiktionary. Someone
had a similar request recently, I think and seemed to get some help. This
list is rarely used.

I want a list of all English words + a brief
definition of each [1].
I tried downloading enwiktionary-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2, but
this is way too much: it includes foreign words, word roots/origins,
and a lot more that I don't need.
How can I extract just a word list w/ definitions from wiktionary?
I know about mthes and scowl, but wiktionary supercedes these, yes?
