Poople #237: SWAM to POOP

April 8, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is SWAM → SLAM → SLAP → PLAP → PLOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to SWAM in the client is 5.

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

Each change

  1. SWAM → SLAM: letter 2 changes from W to L.
  2. SLAM → SLAP: letter 4 changes from M to P.
  3. SLAP → PLAP: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  4. PLAP → PLOP: letter 3 changes from A to O.
  5. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
