There is no single definitive list, but many Unix-like systems
(including MacOS) have various word lists in /usr/share/dict/:

Linux:
   $ ls /usr/share/dict/
   linux.words  words

MacOS:

   $ ls /usr/share/dict/
   README          connectives     propernames     web2            web2a           words

FreeBSD:

   $ ls /usr/share/dict/
   README          freebsd         propernames     web2            web2a           words
