Poople #160: ROSY to POOP

January 21, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is ROSY → COSY → COST → COOT → COOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to ROSY in the client is 5.

I walked ROSY forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced ROSY → COSY → COST → COOT → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. ROSY → COSY: letter 1 changes from R to C.
  2. COSY → COST: letter 4 changes from Y to T.
  3. COST → COOT: letter 3 changes from S to O.
  4. COOT → COOP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  5. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
