PANE → PALE → POLE → POME → POMP → POOP
Why this works
PANE → PALE changes N to L; PALE → POLE changes A to O; POLE → POME changes L to M; POME → POMP changes the last E to P; POMP → POOP changes M to O. Every word keeps four letters and each move changes exactly one position. POME is a fruit term and POMP refers to ceremonial splendor. Other valid ladders can exist.
