Poople #85: SANE to POOP

November 7, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SANE → SAME → SOME → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to SANE in the client is 5.

I walked SANE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced SANE → SAME → SOME → POME → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. SANE → SAME: letter 3 changes from N to M.
  2. SAME → SOME: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  3. SOME → POME: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  4. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  5. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
