Here are every 6th step of a 42 rectilinear (57 straight-line) moves solution (note that the two O's of HONOR get exchanged in the process).


Here are every 8th step of a 56 rectilinear (74 straight-line) moves solution for the harder puzzle where every square is unique (as would be the case if the words were BLACK and WHITE); the second O of honor is represented by a Q (a 72 straight line moves solution is also possibe).


Here are every 6th step plus the final step of a 37 rectilinear (50 straight-line) moves solution for the easier puzzle when all three O's are interchangeable and the two R's are interchangeable:
