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.
