Poople #113: RICE to POOP

December 5, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is RICE → DICE → DIME → DOME → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to RICE in the client is 6.

I walked RICE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced RICE → DICE → DIME → DOME → POME → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. RICE → DICE: letter 1 changes from R to D.
  2. DICE → DIME: letter 3 changes from C to M.
  3. DIME → DOME: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  4. DOME → POME: letter 1 changes from D to P.
  5. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  6. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
