Poople #395: PAID to POOP

September 13, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is PAID → PAIL → PALL → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to PAID in the client is 5.

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

Each change

  1. PAID → PAIL: letter 4 changes from D to L.
  2. PAIL → PALL: letter 3 changes from I to L.
  3. PALL → POLL: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  4. POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  5. POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
