Poople #5: HALE to POOP

August 19, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

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

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

Each change

  1. HALE → HALL: letter 4 changes from E to L.
  2. HALL → PALL: letter 1 changes from H to P.
  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.
