Poople #274: WANT to POOP

May 15, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is WANT → CANT → CANS → CONS → COOS → COOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to WANT in the client is 6.

I walked WANT forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced WANT → CANT → CANS → CONS → COOS → COOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. WANT → CANT: letter 1 changes from W to C.
  2. CANT → CANS: letter 4 changes from T to S.
  3. CANS → CONS: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  4. CONS → COOS: letter 3 changes from N to O.
  5. COOS → COOP: letter 4 changes from S to P.
  6. COOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from C to P.
