Poople #21: SIZE to POOP

September 4, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SIZE → SIRE → SORE → PORE → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to SIZE in the client is 6.

I walked SIZE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced SIZE → SIRE → SORE → PORE → POME → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. SIZE → SIRE: letter 3 changes from Z to R.
  2. SIRE → SORE: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  3. SORE → PORE: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  4. PORE → POME: letter 3 changes from R to M.
  5. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  6. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
