Poople #24: MUCH to POOP

September 7, 2025 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is MUCH → MUCK → BUCK → BOCK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to MUCH in the client is 6.

I walked MUCH forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced MUCH → MUCK → BUCK → BOCK → BOOK → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. MUCH → MUCK: letter 4 changes from H to K.
  2. MUCK → BUCK: letter 1 changes from M to B.
  3. BUCK → BOCK: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  4. BOCK → BOOK: letter 3 changes from C to O.
  5. BOOK → BOOP: letter 4 changes from K to P.
  6. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
