Poople #212: YELP to POOP

March 14, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is YELP → HELP → HELD → HOLD → HOOD → HOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to YELP in the client is 6.

I walked YELP forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced YELP → HELP → HELD → HOLD → HOOD → HOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. YELP → HELP: letter 1 changes from Y to H.
  2. HELP → HELD: letter 4 changes from P to D.
  3. HELD → HOLD: letter 2 changes from E to O.
  4. HOLD → HOOD: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  5. HOOD → HOOP: letter 4 changes from D to P.
  6. HOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from H to P.
