there is no "/usr/share/dict/words" in any package

$ cygcheck -p usr/share/dict/words
Found 0 matches for usr/share/dict/words

But scowl has 3 dictionary that eventually you can
try to use. (I have not tested it)


Thank you. I installed scowl. I also had to
	cd /usr/share/dict
	ln -s american-english words

I have a memory of look working correctly in cygwin, with no
configuration required. Out of curiosity, was this ever supported?


I don't know. Never used "look"
