The key here will be turning the input’s value from one text value that contains many words into a list of individual words. You can do this by using the “split by” operator to split the single texts into a list of texts using a “space” character as the divider between words in the list.

From there, once you have a list of words the user typed in, you can compare this list to the list of banned words using the “intersect with” operator. The expression for your comparison would be  
`Multiline Input's value:split by ( ) intersect with do a search for banned words:each item's words:count > 0`

I hope this helps!
