Poople #311: RIPE to POOP

June 21, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is RIPE → PIPE → POPE → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to RIPE in the client is 5.

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

Each change

  1. RIPE → PIPE: letter 1 changes from R to P.
  2. PIPE → POPE: letter 2 changes from I to O.
  3. POPE → POME: letter 3 changes from P to M.
  4. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  5. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
