Poople #347: SLUM to POOP

July 27, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SLUM → GLUM → GLOM → GLOP → GOOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to SLUM in the client is 5.

I walked SLUM forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced SLUM → GLUM → GLOM → GLOP → GOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. SLUM → GLUM: letter 1 changes from S to G.
  2. GLUM → GLOM: letter 3 changes from U to O.
  3. GLOM → GLOP: letter 4 changes from M to P.
  4. GLOP → GOOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
  5. GOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from G to P.
