    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…

    My grandma, a very sweet, timid small old lady, once threw down a “C U N T” then innocently said, “What? It’s a word.”

    “scores” = groups of 20

    so somewhere between 40 and 100 players quit the game because they couldn’t say a racial slur. In a game with apparently 2.5 million daily players. That can’t be right. In a playerbase that size I’d expect the percentage of bigots with no life to be somewhere in the tens of thousands.

    Guess it was a slow news day

      I feel like the amount of bigots in a game that requires knowing lots of words is below the population average.

      But not THAT far.
