Poople #216: TIES to POOP

March 18, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is TIES → DIES → DOES → DOER → DOOR → POOR → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to TIES in the client is 6.

I walked TIES forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced TIES → DIES → DOES → DOER → DOOR → POOR → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. TIES → DIES: letter 1 changes from T to D.
  2. DIES → DOES: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  3. DOES → DOER: letter 4 changes from S to R.
  4. DOER → DOOR: letter 3 changes from E to O.
  5. DOOR → POOR: letter 1 changes from D to P.
  6. POOR → POOP: letter 4 changes from R to P.
