I think I could categorize the kata in following way:

• Kata 1. being the simplest,
• Kata 2., 3., and 4. which are just split+map+join,
• Kata 5. and 6. which process only selected words and not all of them.

Based on this categorization, I think we could :

• Keep kata 1. as the most basic and fitting its 8 kyu rank,
• Keep kata 5. as the most interesting task, especially with inputs with fewer than 3 words. Eventually retire 5. and keep 6. if you think that handling case is an interesting exercise.
• Get rid of 2., 3., and 4. because they do not have anything particularly interesting when compared to 5. or 6.

Keep 1, no opinion on keeping 5 or 6 as the nature of task is neither interesting enough to differentiate between the two, retire the rest !

[CiprianAmza]

I would keep 1 (most solvers), 5 and 6 (interesting tasks).

vote for keep 1 and 6, retire the others
