CHOOSE BOTH ENDS
Word ladder solver.
Connect any two accepted four-letter words. Choose the starting word and the destination.
Choose two words to see the shortest route between them.
What the result includes
The solver returns the minimum move count, a route you can inspect word by word, and the valid next words that keep you on a shortest route. When several shortest routes exist, it counts all of them and displays a labeled sample.
Every result depends on the current checked vocabulary. A smaller list can remove a useful connection; a larger list can introduce a shortcut. Read how the word data and distances are checked.
Starting-word guides.
500 reusable routes to POOP, selected alphabetically from the public word index. These are word guides, not dated daily puzzles.
Public browsing lists omit a small set of explicit terms. The solver, accepted moves and complete answer paths still use the full checked word list.
