Poople #381: ANON to POOP

August 30, 2026 · Medium · par 6 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is ANON → AEON → NEON → NOON → BOON → BOOP → POOP. That is 6 moves, and the par stored next to ANON in the client is 6.

I walked ANON forward one letter at a time on the 2,398-word graph. Alphabetical neighbor order produced ANON → AEON → NEON → NOON → BOON → BOOP → POOP. I am publishing that route because the length matches the client's par.

Each change

  1. ANON → AEON: letter 2 changes from N to E.
  2. AEON → NEON: letter 1 changes from A to N.
  3. NEON → NOON: letter 2 changes from E to O.
  4. NOON → BOON: letter 1 changes from N to B.
  5. BOON → BOOP: letter 4 changes from N to P.
  6. BOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from B to P.
