I have created a Scratch project to censor any bad words the user inputs without a trace of a bad word in the actual project. big_smile

There is a major drawback though. It only censors exact words. If you enter a bad word with any letter attached (without a space,) it will not censor it.

What do you think? smile

Are the bad words hashed?

Exactly. tongue

So it takes the individual words and loops through the list, I guess.
Then, why don't you try making a (obviously not so secure but who cares) hash that instead replaces the letters with something else? Then you could go through letter by letter! (until Scratch adds X contains X)

EDIT
Actually, that doesn't make sense programming wise, but you understand the concept of hashing by letter instead, I hope? tongue
