Poople #40: SPIN to POOP

September 23, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SPIN → SHIN → CHIN → CHIP → CHOP → COOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to SPIN in the client is 6.

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

Each change

  1. SPIN → SHIN: letter 2 changes from P to H.
  2. SHIN → CHIN: letter 1 changes from S to C.
  3. CHIN → CHIP: letter 4 changes from N to P.
  4. CHIP → CHOP: letter 3 changes from I to O.
  5. CHOP → COOP: letter 2 changes from H to O.
  6. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
