Poople #202: JARS to POOP

March 4, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is JARS → BARS → BAAS → BOAS → BOOS → BOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to JARS in the client is 6.

I walked JARS forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced JARS → BARS → BAAS → BOAS → BOOS → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. JARS → BARS: letter 1 changes from J to B.
  2. BARS → BAAS: letter 3 changes from R to A.
  3. BAAS → BOAS: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  4. BOAS → BOOS: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  5. BOOS → BOOP: letter 4 changes from S to P.
  6. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
