Words is a standard file on Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and is simply a newline-delimited list of dictionary words. It is used by Vim and spell-checking programs. The words file is usually stored in /usr/share/dict/words or /usr/dict/words. If the words file is missing, you might encounter the following error message (when using Vim).
A simple way to fix the issue (on Debian-series of Linux distributions)
is to install the wamerican package.
:::bash
wajig install wamerican
