Extract text from Desktop Poet word lists (WORDLIST)
To convert WORDLIST Word lists to another format, you need Desktop Poet or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Word List" file type, you need software like Desktop Poet or a similar tool.
A .WORDLIST file is a custom data file used by Desktop Poet, a creative writing application developed by Mariner Software. This software simulates magnetic refrigerator poetry. The file stores specific sets of vocabulary words, enabling users to import and customize the word tiles available within the program.
The main disadvantage of the .WORDLIST format is its highly specialized nature. The format is locked into Desktop Poet. The software requires a paid license, and the file cannot be natively recognized by modern web browsers, databases, or writing applications. Users often need to extract the raw text data for use in spellcheckers, data analysis, or other document software, but are blocked by the proprietary wrapper.
The best conversion targets for a .WORDLIST file are standard plain text formats like TXT or CSV. Converting to TXT provides a universal, universally accessible list of words. Converting to CSV can help structure the vocabulary if the original file separated words by parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives). During conversion, you will lose the specific visual tile formatting and color coding used by the Desktop Poet rendering engine.
This format is difficult to open or convert because standard online document converters do not recognize its specific application structure. Often, only the original Desktop Poet software can properly export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WORDLIST file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WORDLIST converter.
