Wordlists

Linux

You can find additional wordlists in the /usr/share/dict directory and use them like so:

cli-typer -i /usr/share/dict/words

Install dictionaries on debian-based distributions with the sudo apt install w[lang] command, e.g. sudo apt install wfrench to install the French wordlist. Check out available packages here.
