So first up, words that failed. I split them up by "proper" fails (meaning, they SHOULD be in the game, but aren't) and "improper fails", words that don't fit under the Scribblenauts rules and thus don't have to be in the game.
Not tangible objects
BOOBS (not an object) - Also would be vulgar
MEANING OF LIFE (not an object)
ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM (not an object)
PERPETUALITY (not an object)
ANNUAL - They probably meant the shorthand for an "Annual flower", but "annual" itself doesn't count as an object
LEG WOUND - Not really a tangible object or noun
GLITCH - Not a tangible word, though I do agree it should be in
Not in the dictionary
HAMMER OF THOR (not in dictionary)
DANCING BANANA (not in dictionary)
ONM (not in dictionary)
RAPTOR JESUS (not in dictionary, potentially blasphemous)
SHOOP DA WOOP (not in dictionary)
Trademarked or proper nouns
JEDI (trademarked)DS (trademarked)
Joystiq
RUDOLPH - A proper noun. It'd only be icing on the cake if he were in, like Santa...
Words that are too specific or probably already have variations in game
SANDBOARD - Seems identical to a snowboard, which I'm sure is inSHOVELWARE - Probably too specific of a word. "Videogame" is probably in
MISANTHROPE - Again, most likely too specific of a word. A misanthrope, like one of the -phobe nouns, is more of a human with a non-tangible way of describing them, which would probably be hard to represent. You can, however, spawn in a human and make him fear humans in the level editor
COULROPHOBE - Same as above
Proper fails
DELTOID - Spellcheck tells me this isn't actually a word...hmm. Maybe it needed to be "Deltoids" or "Deltoid Muscle"?
ANTIMACASSAR
RUPEE
So then...not too bad. Out of the 25 words, only 4 of which "properly" failed, and even among those 5, 3 of which have questions about them.
Now let's look at the items that DID make the cut.
PLUMBOB
USB STICK
INTERNET
SIBERIAN HUSKY - YES!
WALLPAPER
ACTOR
DESERT
GOGGLES
BANDANA
FINGERLESS GLOVES
SKI LIFT

WATCH
TATTOO (makes a sheet of stick-on tattoos)
MUSHROOM

SEISMOMETER
LOBSTER
MAGIC EGG (same as a normal egg) - xd, what the hell is a magic egg?
EMO
DEATH
LIMBS
STARITE (but it's a fake one)
MAGIC
EVERYTHING - I wonder what this turns up
UNIVERSE
C4 (input CFOUR)
MELON
JUDGE
JEWEL CASE (but makes a Jewellery Box) - Makes sense
SD CARD (but makes a playing card) - Probably means it isn't it, so the game defaults to the generic "card"
CANVAS
SOLAR SYSTEM (but makes a star) - LAME AS HELL!
GALAXY - Yet this is in...?
PISTOL
LED
RICKROLL (makes Rick Astley appear) - Who promptly explodes. No, seriously.

So as you can see, Scribblenauts already has a pretty robust input device. Even if you get a word wrong or you try to be too specific it spawns in what it thinks you want. All in all the testing was an amazing success. Tallying it all up, out of the 93 "proper" words that were checked, only 4 failed.
Not too bad. Not too bad at all.
