    If wonder if they will just fill it with non-printable unicode characters. It would be the easiest to implement, and fairly effective for most casual users.

    Sure it’s trivial to make a tool to strip the text of those characters. But someone would have to be dedicated to cheating to bother.

      Copy/Paste it into notepad, then copy/paste it from there into whatever else you want it.

      That’s been the go-to for removing weird characters from text since the beginning of time. You SHOULD do that any time you copy text from any web page to remove any hidden text, or weird formatting.

      Why do people keep suggesting this? It’s a moronic idea and they’ve already said they’ll hide it within the word choices.
