If you aren’t aware of the upcoming DS game Scribblenauts, go check it out now. Basically you can type in anything and it’ll show up in the game, from ladders to boats to velociraptors, or even major players like God and Death.

Part of the fun of the game, however, must be in trying out the craziest stuff you can think of and see if it’s in there. However, those of you who play through games with the strategy guide in your lap will probably just want to look at a huge list of all the words you can put in. Luckily for you, that list exists.

Some hackerish type took apart the ROM and ripped the full dictionary. It comes off as a mix of… well, everything. Internet memes, deities, objects, scientific names of creatures, chemicals, and pretty much everything in between. Warning, it’s over 20,000 items long. Here are a few of my favorites, which I can’t wait to try when I get the game:

  • Asterism
  • Harmonium
  • Blogger (we better be more powerful than God)
  • Dramatic Chipmunk
  • Existentialist
  • Marionberry

I think some of the words have a letter left off the end. I have trouble believing they put in “Apoll” and not “Apollo.”
