Poople #398: WHAT to POOP

September 16, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is WHAT → CHAT → CHAP → CHOP → COOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to WHAT in the client is 5.

I walked WHAT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced WHAT → CHAT → CHAP → CHOP → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. WHAT → CHAT: letter 1 changes from W to C.
  2. CHAT → CHAP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  3. CHAP → CHOP: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  4. CHOP → COOP: letter 2 changes from H to O.
  5. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
