Poople #94: LENS to POOP
November 16, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026
One shortest path is LENS → DENS → DONS → CONS → COOS → COOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to LENS in the client is 6.
I walked LENS forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced LENS → DENS → DONS → CONS → COOS → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.
Each change
- LENS → DENS: letter 1 changes from L to D.
- DENS → DONS: letter 2 changes from E to O.
- DONS → CONS: letter 1 changes from D to C.
- CONS → COOS: letter 3 changes from N to O.
- COOS → COOP: letter 4 changes from S to P.
- COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
