Poople #86: LEND to POOP

November 8, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is LEND → BEND → BOND → BONK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to LEND in the client is 6.

I walked LEND forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced LEND → BEND → BOND → BONK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. LEND → BEND: letter 1 changes from L to B.
  2. BEND → BOND: letter 2 changes from E to O.
  3. BOND → BONK: letter 4 changes from D to K.
  4. BONK → BOOK: letter 3 changes from N to O.
  5. BOOK → BOOP: letter 4 changes from K to P.
  6. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
