Prof. Levenshtein is meant to be teaching us astronomy, but they fancy themselves as a poet. Can you figure out the name they've given to each star?

The names are given based on

Levenshtein distances as suggested by the name of the lecturer. Each edge between two words indicates a Levenshtein distance of 1.

So the names of the stars are

Red: clue

Orange: cue

Yellow: cut

Purple: but

Green: bit

Brown: bid
