Poople #323: HUES to POOP

July 3, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is HUES → HOES → HOED → HOOD → HOOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to HUES in the client is 5.

I walked HUES forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced HUES → HOES → HOED → HOOD → HOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. HUES → HOES: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  2. HOES → HOED: letter 4 changes from S to D.
  3. HOED → HOOD: letter 3 changes from E to O.
  4. HOOD → HOOP: letter 4 changes from D to P.
  5. HOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from H to P.
