Poople #206: UNIT to POOP

March 8, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is UNIT → SNIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to UNIT in the client is 6.

I walked UNIT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced UNIT → SNIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. UNIT → SNIT: letter 1 changes from U to S.
  2. SNIT → SLIT: letter 2 changes from N to L.
  3. SLIT → SLIP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  4. SLIP → SLOP: letter 3 changes from I to O.
  5. SLOP → PLOP: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  6. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
