Poople #369: PERT to POOP

August 18, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is PERT → PEAT → PLAT → PLAP → PLOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to PERT in the client is 5.

I walked PERT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced PERT → PEAT → PLAT → PLAP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. PERT → PEAT: letter 3 changes from R to A.
  2. PEAT → PLAT: letter 2 changes from E to L.
  3. PLAT → PLAP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  4. PLAP → PLOP: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  5. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
