Poople #344: DUST to POOP

July 24, 2026 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is DUST → LUST → LOST → LOOT → LOOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to DUST in the client is 5.

I walked DUST forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced DUST → LUST → LOST → LOOT → LOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. DUST → LUST: letter 1 changes from D to L.
  2. LUST → LOST: letter 2 changes from U to O.
  3. LOST → LOOT: letter 3 changes from S to O.
  4. LOOT → LOOP: letter 4 changes from T to P.
  5. LOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from L to P.
