Do you have the location of your dictionaries specified in your config
file, which is usually in /etc/dictd.conf?

The entries in dictd.conf should point to your dictionary files which
are usually in /usr/share/dict but can be anywhere.

You can try to execute from a terminal:

dictd -i -d

This should print all the locations if there are any.
