Poople #95: LACE to POOP

November 17, 2025 · Easy · par 5 · updated October 1, 2026

One shortest path is LACE → LACK → LOCK → LOOK → LOOP → POOP. That is 5 moves, and the par stored next to LACE in the client is 5.

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

Each change

  1. LACE → LACK: letter 4 changes from E to K.
  2. LACK → LOCK: letter 2 changes from A to O.
  3. LOCK → LOOK: letter 3 changes from C to O.
  4. LOOK → LOOP: letter 4 changes from K to P.
  5. LOOP → POOP: letter 1 changes from L to P.
