Poople #144: MULE to POOP

January 5, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is MULE → MOLE → POLE → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to MULE in the client is 5.

I walked MULE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced MULE → MOLE → POLE → POLL → POOL → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. MULE → MOLE: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  2. MOLE → POLE: letter 1 changes from M to P.
  3. POLE → POLL: letter 4 changes from E to L.
  4. POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  5. POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
