Poople #217: CAGE to POOP

March 19, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is CAGE → CAME → CAMP → COMP → COOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to CAGE in the client is 5.

I walked CAGE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced CAGE → CAME → CAMP → COMP → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. CAGE → CAME: letter 3 changes from G to M.
  2. CAME → CAMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  3. CAMP → COMP: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  4. COMP → COOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
  5. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
