How to play Poople
Poople is a daily word ladder. You start from a four-letter word and change one letter at a time until you reach POOP. Every step has to be a real word from the game's dictionary.
Par means the fewest moves needed to reach POOP. Everyone gets the same puzzle, and a new one starts at 08:00 UTC. We use the game’s word list to find a shortest path.
What makes a valid word ladder?
Change exactly one letter on each move. Every new word must appear in the game’s word list.
Par is the fewest moves needed. The path shown here is one shortest answer; there may be others.
Plan the last move before the first
Start by thinking of words one letter away from POOP. Then look for a way to connect your starting word to one of them.
- Compare two consecutive words letter by letter.
- Count moves between words, not the number of words in the list.
- After you play, reveal the answer to check your path.
