So I am working on a project that I plan to feature every single word in the English dictionary that begins with Z (according to dictionary.com). I think this would be a really funny thing to do However, since my vocabulary is as adept as to know the definitions of all 563 words (and I don't want to read through all 563 definitions), I would like to know which (if any) are not permitted to be used on Scratch so I can remove them from the project.
Here is the full list: https://www.dictionary.com/e/word-finder/words-that-start-with-z/

If you wouldn't use that word in front of an 8 year old, then don't add it

You could probably just read the definitions to see if they're appropriate or not
although that would take a while

Well, they could read the definitions, since it's copied from a dictionaryIf you wouldn't use that word in front of an 8 year old, then don't add itHow would you tell that a word can or can not be used without knowing the definition of a word though?

One thing you could try to automate the process is to put them all in a list and then run them through the translate blocks. The ones that return blank are censored and likely have inappropriate meanings.
Here's a script I made that could work(based on my testing):
Just put the full list of words starting with Z into the “words” list* and run this script. After a while, it should have cleaned out at least most of the inappropriate words.
