# word-stream

> Returns a stream of English words from the [Letterpress Word List](https://github.com/atebits/Words/blob/master/Words/en.txt)

Useful if you're creating a word game or just want some words to work with.

## Install

```sh
npm install word-stream
```

## Usage

```js
import wordStream from 'word-stream';

wordStream().on('data', word => {
	console.log(word);
});
//=> …
//=> abmhos
//=> abnegate
//=> …
```

## Tip

You can get all the words at once by using [`get-stream`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-stream):

```js
import wordStream from 'word-stream';
import {getStreamAsArray} from 'get-stream';

console.log(await getStreamAsArray(wordStream()));
//=> […, 'abmhos', 'abnegate', …]
```
