What is the Poople #84 answer?
The #84 start word is PEAR. One shortest path to POOP takes 5 moves: PEAR -> BEAR -> BOAR -> BOOR -> POOR -> POOP.
Are there any other solutions besides the five listed that reach POOP in 5 moves?
No, there are exactly 5 solutions that reach POOP in 5 moves. These solutions all start with PEAR and then branch into either BEAR, PEAT, or PEER as their second word.
What is the most common first move from PEAR in the shortest solutions?
There is no single most common first move from PEAR among the shortest solutions. The 5-move solutions branch equally into BEAR, PEAT, and PEER, with each of these leading to at least one shortest path to POOP.
What happens if I start with a word like DEAR, FEAR, or HEAR?
If you start with DEAR, FEAR, HEAR, or any of the other 10 words listed, it will cost you one extra move to reach POOP. While these are valid first moves from PEAR, they do not lead to the shortest possible 5-move solutions.
Is the path PEAR -> BEAR -> BOAR -> BOOR -> POOR -> POOP the only one that uses the word BOOR?
No, there is another 5-move solution that uses BOOR. The path PEAR -> BEAR -> BOAR -> BOOR -> BOOP -> POOP also includes BOOR, demonstrating that this word can lead to POOP through different subsequent words.
