Good to know
Text Censor Tool matches each listed word as a whole word and replaces it with a repeat of the character you pick, an asterisk, hash, or bullet. With keep-first on, the opening letter stays and the rest is masked. Matching ignores case, and the work happens in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Which characters can I censor with?
An asterisk, a hash, or a bullet. The chosen character repeats to match the length of each censored word.
What does keep-first do?
It leaves the first letter of each word visible and masks the rest, which is a common style for light censoring.
Does it censor inside longer words?
No. Only whole-word matches of the words you list are censored.
