Poople #143: GIGA to POOP

January 4, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is GIGA → GIGS → CIGS → COGS → COOS → COOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to GIGA in the client is 6.

I walked GIGA forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced GIGA → GIGS → CIGS → COGS → COOS → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. GIGA → GIGS: letter 4 changes from A to S.
  2. GIGS → CIGS: letter 1 changes from G to C.
  3. CIGS → COGS: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  4. COGS → COOS: letter 3 changes from G to O.
  5. COOS → COOP: letter 4 changes from S to P.
  6. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
