Poople #136: DUET to POOP

December 28, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is DUET → DUEL → DULL → DOLL → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to DUET in the client is 6.

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

Each change

  1. DUET → DUEL: letter 4 changes from T to L.
  2. DUEL → DULL: letter 3 changes from E to L.
  3. DULL → DOLL: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  4. DOLL → POLL: letter 1 changes from D to P.
  5. POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  6. POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
