Poople #317: NETS to POOP

June 27, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is NETS → BETS → BOTS → BOOS → BOOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to NETS in the client is 5.

I walked NETS forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced NETS → BETS → BOTS → BOOS → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. NETS → BETS: letter 1 changes from N to B.
  2. BETS → BOTS: letter 2 changes from E to O.
  3. BOTS → BOOS: letter 3 changes from T to O.
  4. BOOS → BOOP: letter 4 changes from S to P.
  5. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
