I'm looking for a file that is a wordlist and also is set up by type of word. For example something in this format

Nouns: {
    bus
    car
    deck
    elephant
    ...
}
Adjectives {
    awful
    bashful
    ...
}
Advervb {
    ...
}

Any ideas?

The MOBY word list is almost exactly what you're looking for: http://icon.shef.ac.uk/Moby/mpos.html

This list also builds on the MOBY list: http://www.ashley-bovan.co.uk/words/partsofspeech.html
