How can I import a json file thats not a data table?

im trying to make a word game, sort of like scrabble, i have a list of words which can be found here GitHub - dwyl/english-words: A text file containing 479k English words for all your dictionary/word-based projects e.g: auto-completion / autosuggestion, basically i need to check if a word matches any word in the dictionary. I cant figure out how to import a list of words as a text file, as it always thinks its a data table. same thing with .csv files. Is there a corect format or a differnt way to import?
