Where can I find a list of English phrases? [closed]

I'm tasked with searching for the use of cliches and common phrases in text. The phrases are similar to the phrases you might see for the phrase puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. Here are a few examples:

  • Easy Come Easy Go
  • Too Good To be True
  • Winning Isn't Everything

I cannot find a list of phrases however. Does anybody know of such a list?

Seriously, even a list of all Wheel of Fortune solutions would suffice.

Where can you find phrase?

Phrases and clauses are groups of words found within a sentence. These groups each express an idea, which may be complete or incomplete. Being able to identify phrases and clauses will help with writing and punctuating complete sentences.

I know an answer has been accepted... but the answer is dated. Currently, wiktionary is the best place to go (~8000 entries): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_idioms
