About this puzzle
Par 5 of 11. Rated Easy.
3 distinct shortest path(s) from SUIT to POOP.
SUIT connects to 7 other valid words.
The shortest routes split after move 2 and rejoin 2 move(s) later, at move 4.
How the routes branch
Right after SLIT, 2 different words keep the route just as short: SLIP, SLOT. Whichever one you pick, the routes lead back together at PLOP on move 4.
SUIT has a narrow path to POOP. Every optimal solution must pass through SLIT, then SLIP or SLOT, before reaching PLOP.

What is the Poople #432 answer?
The #432 start word is SUIT. One shortest path to POOP takes 5 moves: SUIT -> SLIT -> SLOT -> PLOT -> PLOP -> POOP.
Why does it seem like every path from SUIT goes through SLIT?
Every optimal solution for SUIT must indeed pass through SLIT. From there, the path can diverge through either SLIP or SLOT before rejoining at PLOP on the way to POOP. This makes SLIT a crucial step for reaching POOP in the minimum number of moves.
How many different shortest paths are there from SUIT to POOP?
There are three distinct shortest paths from SUIT to POOP, all of which are 5 moves long. Each of these paths begins with SUIT changing to SLIT, then diverges through either SLIP or SLOT, and finally converges again at PLOP before reaching POOP.
What happens if I start with a word like SHIT or SPIT from SUIT?
If you start with SHIT or SPIT from SUIT, your path to POOP will take one extra move compared to the optimal solutions. While these are valid first moves, they will result in a 6-move solution rather than the 5-move par. Other first moves like QUIT and SUET will cost you two extra moves.
What does PLOP mean in the context of this puzzle?
PLOP refers to the sound an object makes when it falls into water. This word is a key step in all optimal solutions from SUIT, as the paths from SLIP and SLOT converge at PLOP before the final step to POOP.
