Cannot find word in txt dictionary

I have a txt file with several thousand words. However, when I try and pull them into a dictionary variable in python 3.7 some words do not appear.

The dictionary file is here

For example:

dictionary = {}
with open("en-dict.txt", "r", encoding="utf8") as file:
    for line in file:
        line = file.readline().strip()
        dictionary[line] = 0

if "eat" in dictionary:
    print("Yes")

Why is this happening? Thanks

try with this code:

dictionary = {}
with open("en-dict.txt", "r", encoding="utf8") as file:
    for line in file:
        dictionary[line.split("\n")[0]] = 0
print(dictionary)
if "eat" in dictionary:
    print("Yes")
