They have removed a lot more. You can try plenty of loan words from other languages that aren't available. The basis for the original game was 'Collins Scrabble Words 19' which omits words as well. And it may shock you but I do indeed know that words have multiple meanings. However I'm not really sure what's so hard to understand about the fact that the NYT is going to remove most controversial ones from a word game.

> However I'm not really sure what's so hard to understand about the fact that the NYT is going to remove most controversial ones from a word game. The most controversial words were not removed from the game. Unless you think "slave" and "bitch" (which were both removed) are more controversial than "cunts" or "fucks", which are both in the current NYT Wordle wordbank. This has been pointed out in multiple news articles, just in case the censors reading over the word lists in the first place somehow missed them (and yet didn't miss 'agora'), so it's an open question as to why 'cunts' is OK but 'slave' or 'agora' or 'wench' are not.
