Poople #258: RING to POOP

April 29, 2026 · Medium · par 7 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is RING → DING → DINE → DIME → DOME → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 7 moves, and the par stored next to RING in the client is 7.

I walked RING forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced RING → DING → DINE → DIME → DOME → POME → POMP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. RING → DING: letter 1 changes from R to D.
  2. DING → DINE: letter 4 changes from G to E.
  3. DINE → DIME: letter 3 changes from N to M.
  4. DIME → DOME: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  5. DOME → POME: letter 1 changes from D to P.
  6. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  7. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
