Poople #23: HALO to POOP
September 6, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026
One shortest path is HALO → HALL → PALL → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to HALO in the client is 5.
I walked HALO forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced HALO → HALL → PALL → POLL → POOL → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.
Each change
- HALO → HALL: letter 4 changes from O to L.
- HALL → PALL: letter 1 changes from H to P.
- PALL → POLL: letter 2 changes from A to O.
- POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
- POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
