Poople #279: VIBE to POOP

May 20, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is VIBE → VILE → PILE → PILL → POLL → POOL → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to VIBE in the client is 6.

I walked VIBE forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced VIBE → VILE → PILE → PILL → POLL → POOL → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. VIBE → VILE: letter 3 changes from B to L.
  2. VILE → PILE: letter 1 changes from V to P.
  3. PILE → PILL: letter 4 changes from E to L.
  4. PILL → POLL: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  5. POLL → POOL: letter 3 changes from L to O.
  6. POOL → POOP: letter 4 changes from L to P.
