32768 words is very do-able. Hunspell English has 621,180 by the

Do remember that, as languages go, English has a rather large vocabulary. I don't know of any languages where 32K is a problem, but when over 100K or so, there is a problem. Also, even in English, we may want to limit the words to common words with different pronunciations, avoiding the there, their, they're problem.

While this group probably won't pick the word list, we do need to keep it relatively small.
