Poople #308: QUIZ to POOP

June 18, 2026 · Medium · par 7 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is QUIZ → QUIT → SUIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. That is 7 moves, and the par stored next to QUIZ in the client is 7.

I walked QUIZ forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced QUIZ → QUIT → SUIT → SLIT → SLIP → SLOP → PLOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. QUIZ → QUIT: letter 4 changes from Z to T.
  2. QUIT → SUIT: letter 1 changes from Q to S.
  3. SUIT → SLIT: letter 2 changes from U to L.
  4. SLIT → SLIP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  5. SLIP → SLOP: letter 3 changes from I to O.
  6. SLOP → PLOP: letter 1 changes from S to P.
  7. PLOP → POOP: letter 2 changes from L to O.
