Poople #193: REAP to POOP

February 23, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is REAP → HEAP → HEMP → HUMP → PUMP → POMP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to REAP in the client is 6.

I walked REAP forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced REAP → HEAP → HEMP → HUMP → PUMP → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. REAP → HEAP: letter 1 changes from R to H.
  2. HEAP → HEMP: letter 3 changes from A to M.
  3. HEMP → HUMP: letter 2 changes from E to U.
  4. HUMP → PUMP: letter 1 changes from H to P.
  5. PUMP → POMP: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  6. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
