Poople #49: SALE to POOP

October 2, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

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

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

Each change

  1. SALE → PALE: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  2. PALE → PALL: letter 4 changes from E 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.
