Poople #326: JAZZ to POOP

July 6, 2026 · Hard · par 8 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is JAZZ → RAZZ → RAZE → DAZE → DAME → DOME → POME → POMP → POOP. That is 8 moves, and the par stored next to JAZZ in the client is 8.

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

Each change

  1. JAZZ → RAZZ: letter 1 changes from J to R.
  2. RAZZ → RAZE: letter 4 changes from Z to E.
  3. RAZE → DAZE: letter 1 changes from R to D.
  4. DAZE → DAME: letter 3 changes from Z to M.
  5. DAME → DOME: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  6. DOME → POME: letter 1 changes from D to P.
  7. POME → POMP: letter 4 changes from E to P.
  8. POMP → POOP: letter 3 changes from M to O.
