Poople #248: PACT to POOP

April 19, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is PACT → PACE → PALE → PALL → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to PACT in the client is 6.

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

Each change

  1. PACT → PACE: letter 4 changes from T to E.
  2. PACE → PALE: letter 3 changes from C to L.
  3. PALE → PALL: letter 4 changes from E to L.
  4. PALL → POLL: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  5. POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  6. POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
