Storing dictionaries in mongo

Is there any reliable and fast database architecture that allows to store a dictionary(containing up to hundred thousand words) using mongodb?

For optimal performance, MongoDB schema design must be custom-tailored for each application's unique access patterns. It's better to study general MongoDB design techniques than specific architectures (which may not match your specific application).

Having said that, Wordnik is a great case-study:

• Similar application: real-time dictionary

• 20 billion records stored in 3.5 terabytes of MongoDB

• Many online presentations sharing their MongoDB knowledge/experiences

• Inside Wordnik's Architecture gives a more "macro" view of Wordnik's

architecture.

• Lots of other slides

Here is how Wordnik apparently modeled their words:
