The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.

    So like, it wasn’t just hiding in the game’s dictionary, but someone or some pre-coded algorithm selected it to feature?

        I’m not much of a coder, but even if they’re doing something procedural, it can and should still have a blacklist.

          If I’m writing a blacklist for slurs, I’m not thinking of archaic words like “griffe”. I’m just making sure it doesn’t use anything that would be used in a modern context.
