Poople #301: TUNE to POOP

June 11, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is TUNE → TONE → TOME → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to TUNE in the client is 5.

I walked TUNE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced TUNE → TONE → TOME → POME → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. TUNE → TONE: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  2. TONE → TOME: letter 3 changes from N to M.
  3. TOME → POME: letter 1 changes from T to P.
  4. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  5. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
