What these distances mean

A step changes exactly one letter and must produce another accepted word. The count excludes the starting position and includes each transformation needed to reach POOP.

The five labels use that minimum distance: Easy is 5 moves or fewer, Moderate is 6, Tricky is 7, Hard is 8, and Expert is 9 or more. They do not estimate player success rates or word familiarity.
