This is a little program to find the smallest x
with 0 < x <= 1000000
, where
a(n+1) = NumberOfChars(EnglishWord(a(n)))
and a(0) = x
resulting in the longest chain before hitting a(n) = 4
.
The program returns:
THREEHUNDREDTWENTYTHREE (323), TWENTYTHREE (23), ELEVEN (11), SIX (6), THREE (3), FIVE (5), FOUR (4)
