Collins Zyzzyva 5.2.0 for CSW21 is available for download at https://blog.collinsdictionary.com/scrabble/scrabble-tools/, Mac and Windows versions. The main change is the addition of the new expurgated lexicon, and removal of all prior ones according to corporate requirements. There are no new words in CSW21. If you want to keep a copy of CSW19 from the prior CZ 5.1, do a pattern match search for * and then use the File/Save As dialog to save the search results to a text file. This can then be loaded into CZ 5.2.0 as a Custom lexicon.

Thanks for your efforts on Collins Zyzzyva.  By any chance are there plans for a Linux version of 5.2.0?

I have downloaded Zyzzyva to my Mac using the link shown. It loads okay but does not seem to contain any lexicon, even though the link says it should contain CSW21. Please could someone advise how I can install CSW21? Thanks.

I downloaded the new version onto my Windows laptop and have the same problem: there is no Lexicon.

Try this:

Lexicons loaded and Lexicon Styles previously set which refer to now-removed lexicons still refer to those lexicons. For now, the workaround is to manually edit these settings to remove them in Tools/Preferences, restart CZ, and rebuild all lexicons.
