Probably AWK could be a good compromise :)

words.awk:
BEGIN {
	split(p,ws,"|");
	n=1;
	while (n in ws)
		ff[n++]=0;
} 

{
	for (i=1;i<n;i++) 
		if ((ff[i]==0) && (match($0,ws[i])))
			ff[i]=1;
}

END {
	f=0;
	i=1;
	while ((f==0)&&(i<n)) {
		if (ff[i++]==0)
			f=1;
	}
	exit(f);
}

command line:
$ awk -v p="w1|...|wn" -f words.awk file.txt

Regards :)
