Does "But how do I find this one?"  mean, you want to find the the 
".dict" text file that includes the added words and its location?

Under windows,  the file is located in the user directory, which is 
usually located at:

C:\Users\-username\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

Under Linux, I believe it is also in the folder where all the user and 
LyX settings are kept. But  Maybe others can help?

Maybe you can do a quick "where" under Linux to find the file?

Hope I got your question correctly.
