Poople #167: PINT to POOP

January 28, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is PINT → HINT → HILT → HOLT → HOOT → HOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to PINT in the client is 6.

I walked PINT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced PINT → HINT → HILT → HOLT → HOOT → HOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. PINT → HINT: letter 1 changes from P to H.
  2. HINT → HILT: letter 3 changes from N to L.
  3. HILT → HOLT: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  4. HOLT → HOOT: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  5. HOOT → HOOP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  6. HOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from H to P.
