AI Thread Summary
A Perfect Word is defined as a word where any single letter can be replaced with another letter to create a different valid word. For example, "CAST" is a 4-letter Perfect Word because changing C to L results in "LAST," A to O gives "COST," S to R forms "CART," and T to E creates "CASE." The discussion progresses to identifying 6-letter Perfect Words, with "paster" being a primary example, alongside others like "master," "poster," and "palter." Participants are challenged to find a 7-letter Perfect Word, leading to a collaborative effort where several valid options are suggested, including "pasters" and "masters." The conversation is light-hearted, with playful banter among participants.

A PERFECT WORD is a word in which ANY one letter could be replaced by another letter to form another word.

An example of a 4-letter Perfect Word is CAST because C could be replaced by L to form LAST or A by O to form COST, or S by R to form CART, and T by E to form CASE.

For a point : Give a 6-letter Perfect Word.
