On my Ubuntu Linux system:

$ ls -l /usr/share/dict
total 2372
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 971578 Oct 20  2017 american-english
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 967402 Oct 20  2017 british-english
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477238 Aug  4  2017 cracklib-small

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     30 Mar 31  2020 words -> /etc/dictionaries-common/words
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Mar 31  2020 words.pre-dictionaries-common -> american-english
$ ls -l /etc/dictionaries-common/words 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 31  2020 /etc/dictionaries-common/words -> /usr/share/dict/american-english

And my port of Doug's spell(1) from V10 (see my github):

$ ls src/v10spell/
american     brspell.v10  list	    mkfile   README.md	spellsh.in	  stop
amspell.v10  ChangeLog	  local     pcode.c  spell.1	spell-wrapper.sh  tools
british      code.h	  makefile  README   spell.pdf	sprog.c

HTH,

Arnold
