try {
   URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com/123.txt");
   Scanner s = new Scanner(url.openStream());
   // read from your scanner
}
catch(IOException ex) {
   // there was some connection problem, or the file did not exist on the server,
   // or your URL was not in the right format.
   // think about what to do now, and put it here.
   ex.printStackTrace(); // for now, simply output it.
}

or

URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com/123.txt");
InputStream in = url.openStream();

You have stored your data as Text format and you want to retrieve it as some piece of information at a time. This is not possible with TextFormat ( partially it is possible by creating a webservice ). To avoid this I would like suggest you to store your words in mysql and access the data with webservice.

Android and PHP Web Service.
