Anyone of any ideas on the list?


For a product-key task, recently, I omitted vowels from the set of allowed characters to avoid bad words. The set also had digits. In that approach you still might have things show up that look bad, but in my tests that didn't seem to be happening.


Another approach would be to omit all words, bad or not, by using some sort of spell checker library includes bad words.

I'm with you about maintaining the bad word list. I once managed a discussion email list and had to set up my bad word filters. Blach! It's worse than searching through the spam bucket for missed mail. Since I'm naive, there are probably lots of words I don't know and I'm upset about the ones I do know.


Thanks Dar,

Removing vowels is a good solution, but will not work as there are required vowels on the letters to be generated. I do have to make sure the software does not generate "good" words as well as the "bad". Turns out that a spell checker list that was created for MC some years ago by some good soul has what I am looking for. With the good and the bad mixed together, I will never have to focus on them.

Thanks for your thoughts.
