if you can construct a list of "illegal" characters, then you can simply
check each character of the word against the list, and if it succeeds
for all of the characters, it's a winner.

If that's not fast enough, you can build a translation table from the
list of illegal characters, and use translate on each word.  Then it
becomes a question of checking if the translated word is all zeroes.  
More setup time, but much faster looping for each word.
