Word list used by Desktop Poet, a "fridge poetry" program that allows users to create poetry by arranging words on the desktop; contains a collection of words, as well as definitions for word tenses (e.g., verb tenses, singular and plural tenses); also stores the word list title, language, author, and copyright information.

Word list files can be used for storing collections of words in different languages. Several standard word list files are included with the Desktop Poet software. Other word lists can be downloaded and added to the software. WORDLIST files are stored in a plain text format, and include tags that divide the different sections of the file. NOTE: Desktop Poet is no longer developed.
