In response to requests from our community, we list all the words in our lexicon that have been labelled as offensive (and with no inoffensive senses) by our lexicographical colleagues, divided into '''draft''' categories according to the nature of their offence.
On 2020-06-22, this categorization was refined, with slurs being subdivided according to which [[Code of Conduct]] category(-ies) pertained to the slur; some offensive words were also reassigned categories.
On 2020-07-12 the [[Dictionary Committee]] agreed in reviewing some unusual cases that if a word is listed as offensive in all its senses in a source dictionary, and at least one of those senses was a slur, then the word would be designated as an offensive slur.
Each word in each category is then listed alphabetically, but with its letters rearranged into alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order in order to obfuscate it from the casual reader. We welcome media inquiries at [mailto:info@scrabbleplayers.org info@scrabbleplayers.org] for a plain list of words.
