List += value


I'm about 99% sure the DM Guide and Reference cover this...

You have your WordList list, which should be defined like this:
mob/var/list/WordList=list() //new, empty list that belongs to the player.

You want to check if the word T is in the list L:
mob/proc/TerritoryCheck(T, list/L)
   return (T in L) //simple as that. "in" operator checks if T is "in" L, or if T is one of the items in L.

You want to add a word to the list.
WordList += input(src,"What word would you like to add?","Add Word")//as text = default input() type
//WordList is an existing list that belongs to src.

You tried to create a new list and add the word to it, which would do absolutely nothing. You already defined an existing list.
