Accessing the Words With Friends dictionary

Some Internet browsing led me to this procedure; just wanted to post it so I will remember. To get the dictionary file used by Words With Friends:
  1. Copy the Words With Friends app file "Words.ipa" from the iTunes Mobile Applications folder (~\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications).
  2. Rename the .ipa to .zip and open it
  3. Get "enable1.txt" from Words.zip\Payload\WordsWithFriendsPaid.app
And that's the dictionary (I'm told ENABLE stands for Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon).
