How to import all English words to a set in Swift/Xcode?

Question

I'm just learning and working through the Apple Xcode/Swift guide, and am currently working on the "Apple Pie" project (in case anyone is familiar). If you're not, it's a "hangman" style game, where you guess the letters in a word each round, and have a total number of guesses before you lose. The guide asks you to add your own list of words to an array, but that feels tedious and boring. I know this is just a guide to help me learn, but I think it'd be a lot more fun to pull a random word from a set of "all" English words (at least several thousand) to guess from.

How would I go about importing a set of words like this, to where I don't have to type them all hard coded? I found references to an "npm" that seems to contain what I'm looking for, but have no idea what an npm is or how to add it to my program as a searchable set.

The best thing you can do is to pull a request to a web were many english words are stored, for example: http://www.mieliestronk.com/corncob_caps.txt , create a file inside your app with all that words and then create an array in code where you can choose randomly from.
