Poople #104: FAUX to POOP

November 26, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is FAUX → FLUX → FLAX → FLAP → FLOP → PLOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to FAUX in the client is 6.

I walked FAUX forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced FAUX → FLUX → FLAX → FLAP → FLOP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. FAUX → FLUX: letter 2 changes from A to L.
  2. FLUX → FLAX: letter 3 changes from U to A.
  3. FLAX → FLAP: letter 4 changes from X to P.
  4. FLAP → FLOP: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  5. FLOP → PLOP: letter 1 changes from F to P.
  6. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
