I kept the how-to dialog open long enough to copy the road-trip line and the BARN/BORN rule, then I checked the clock. It was still September 30, 2026 before 08:00 UTC, and the puzzle had not rolled off #411. [1]

Scoring, without a made-up formula

Par is the shortest-path length stored beside each start word in the client. Easy, Medium, and Hard on the public archive mean 5 or fewer, 6–7, and 8 or more moves. I am not publishing a points formula the client does not spell out. [2, 4]

Questions

What time does Poople reset?
