Has anyone confirmed if they still use only this original list? I would think the NY Times could change the word list however they choose.

They changed some words pretty much right after the acquisition. There was some controversy when they started doing "themed" words (like Christmas stuff in December) vs more "random" words. Some words were also removed for having negative vibes/political liability
