Is there any possible way to have a spell with a range of "Long" in Words of Power(other than a Boosted Burst at Spell Level +4)? None of the Effect words have ranges, and none of the Target words have a base range longer than Close. Some boosted target words increase the range to Medium...but doesn't the Distant word only effect target words? So the only way to do this would be to use Boost a Target word, then apply Distant to it...but you can't use two Meta Words with any other Word. Am I missing something here?

Distant Meta Word...
"This word has no effect on target words with a range other than close or medium."
But maybe Distant can apply to Effect Words?

Look at the Target Word "Burst"
Level 1
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target A wordspell with this target word affects everything it catches in a 10-foot-radius burst. Some effect words that use the burst target word are instead emanations, taking up the same area as the burst. These effect words typically have a longer duration and cannot be moved once created. They are noted by the word “emanation” in parentheses after the burst target restriction.
Boost: The spell affects everything in a 20-foot-radius burst. Its range increases to medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level). Boosting this target word increases its level by 2.
Boost: The spell affects everything in a 40-foot-radius burst. Its range increases to long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level). Boosting this target word increases its level by 4.
This means that a 1st or 2nd level spell has a range of Close.
If used in a 3rd or 4th level Word, it has a range of Medium.If used in a 5th+ level Word, it has a range of Long.
You could use Distance for any of the 1st - 4th level Words to increase the range (from Close to Medium and from Medium to Long), but you couldn't use it on any 5th+ level Word as the range is already long.
