Poople #44: SPIT to POOP
September 27, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026
One shortest path is SPIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to SPIT in the client is 5.
I walked SPIT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced SPIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.
Each change
- SPIT → SLIT: letter 2 changes from P to L.
- SLIT → SLIP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
- SLIP → SLOP: letter 3 changes from I to O.
- SLOP → PLOP: letter 1 changes from S to P.
- PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
