Poople #231: SWAT to POOP

April 2, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SWAT → SLAT → PLAT → PLAP → PLOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to SWAT in the client is 5.

I walked SWAT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced SWAT → SLAT → PLAT → PLAP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. SWAT → SLAT: letter 2 changes from W to L.
  2. SLAT → PLAT: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  3. PLAT → PLAP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  4. PLAP → PLOP: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  5. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
