looping search question

This is my requirement--

I have a list file that contains a list of 50 words.
eg
word1
word2
word3

I want to search/grep for each of those words in a directory/and subdirectories and list the file in which that word exists.


Ne ideas for script/command?

I know grep -r <pattern> /direaddress will search for existence of a pattern in all files in a directory...but how will i grep for a pattern in a filelist in directory/subdirectories.

NAME
gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line. FILES
/etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to a /usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default- wordlist(8) for more information. The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding. SEE ALSO
ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources. The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not exist. AUTHOR
