Poople #285: MUTE to POOP

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

One shortest path is MUTE → CUTE → COTE → COME → COMP → COOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to MUTE in the client is 6.

I walked MUTE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced MUTE → CUTE → COTE → COME → COMP → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. MUTE → CUTE: letter 1 changes from M to C.
  2. CUTE → COTE: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  3. COTE → COME: letter 3 changes from T to M.
  4. COME → COMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  5. COMP → COOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
  6. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
