    1. This article is 3 years old.

    2. Good luck finding the actual list. This redditor apparently compiled one themselves. https://www.reddit.com/r/scrabble/comments/my5tie/the_419_words_erased_from_csw/

    3. Like all censorship: this is ineffectual and incomplete. Do enjoy digging around the list of words still allowed “because they have secondary nonoffensive definitions” like bitch, cunt, asshole, suckhole, sonofabitch, and of course…

      Okay, on some of these, they have a point lol.

      Also, I got curious and scrolled down to “N”, and all I can say is holy holy shit man. I get it. People cherry-picked out some stupid decisions, but it honestly makes a lot of sense now that I can see the list. I also understand why they didn’t publish the list…
