Poople #224: LANE to POOP

March 26, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is LANE → BANE → BANK → BONK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to LANE in the client is 6.

I walked LANE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced LANE → BANE → BANK → BONK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. LANE → BANE: letter 1 changes from L to B.
  2. BANE → BANK: letter 4 changes from E to K.
  3. BANK → BONK: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  4. BONK → BOOK: letter 3 changes from N to O.
  5. BOOK → BOOP: letter 4 changes from K to P.
  6. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
