what section are you at? I imagine at some points you have to have some word to create other words. idk if you found some cheese, but behead at least is definitely cheesed, so you couldn't really do that "intended".

I have titlecase because I was too lazy to do it manually (I know it's easy I'll get to it)

I have two may verbs, mostly because I didn't want to worry about the logic atm.

I have box because at the time I couldn't figure it out, but I have some ideas when I get to it.

I have dig, digd, and flip, but I think I can get that to 1 word using X dig later

head, cat, and behead for other word stuff

differ for logic

superinduce, because it felt like the best "do" verb to me

and finally, sub, for arithmetic.

I'm at 15 right now. And I don't see anything as being "cheese" for an optimization challenge like this, anything that the game allows is fair for me. Like, I have a proper solution to behead, but there's no reason why I'd pick behead as a fundamental word (as you did) over between when between exists.

Simplest Box I know is ((?)) format. (edit: wrong word lmao) (well, for the golf metric it's something else with fewer chars, but you're not going to define split without some sort of box already defined.)

Actually, Tac is just ?? format. I suppose that one can be used in place of cat as a fundamental.

wow you've made some great progress! Good luck on future sections :)

Now that I think about it, there are levels that I cheesed and "conveniently" ignored the cheese so I see your reasoning. I bet the lowest amount needed is probably around 6. That sounds crazy but hear me out:

1 moving such as X swap

2 delete such as zap

3 copy such as... copy

4 altering words such as head

5 continual loops like if

6 bonus word because I probably forgot one (edit: it was cat)

1 2 3 could probably be combined into only two separate words.

even 4 or 5 total words wouldn't surprise me, but a minimum of 8 would.

zap is (0) till cat, so you don't actually need an explicit word for that at all.

Also I just realized you didn't even include something that can do Same and I have no idea how you managed to replicate it...

I'll fix the list later maybe
