Sometimes I have to wonder about those that created the dictionary for that program. I'm not disagreeing with 'hoon' because that is fantastic, but instead am referring to an issue I had with this game. It wouldn't accept 'jewish' but it would accept 'heeb' (I didn't try the variation 'hebe' but I assume it would take it...)

Take a look at those words in a proper dictionary. I was surprised that "hoon" is acceptable, and my Websters app said it's another word for an Indian pagoda. It's hit or miss on proper nouns. It will accept "Joe" or "Jane" because they are words to describe a generic American man or woman. But it wouldn't take "Steve." I've never tried "Jewish", but it accepted "Saudi" just yesterday. And, there are words that are widely accepted in just about every crossword puzzle in the world, but are rejected by Bookworm ("fie", for example). It's still a pretty good app, though. But since the latest update some time ago, it's gotten much stingier with the blue squares. And it occasionally gives out a blue square for a truly pedestrian word, leaving me scratching my head.
