Daily word ladder
Poople
Start with the daily four-letter word and build a chain of accepted words to POOP. Each move changes exactly one letter in its existing position; the challenge is finding a short route.

How to play Poople
- Open the original game at poople.io and read its How to play panel. Begin with the four-letter starting word provided for the day.
- Enter an accepted four-letter word that changes exactly one letter from the previous word, keeping the other three letters in their positions.
- Continue the chain until you reach POOP. Aim to use as few moves as possible; reaching the destination and finding the shortest route are different goals.
- Use the original game’s statistics to review extra guesses, and return for a new daily starting word.
Changing one position and reducing detours
Change one position, not the order
For example, COOL to COOP changes only the fourth letter, and COOP to POOP changes only the first. Keep all four positions in place, and use the original game to check whether a proposed word is accepted.
A solve can take more than the minimum
The original statistics track extra guesses. A route can reach POOP successfully while taking more moves than the shortest route, so reducing detours is part of the challenge.
Why try Poople?
Choose Poople when you would rather construct a route than uncover a hidden answer. The destination is known from the start, so the interesting decision is which intermediate word will open a shorter path. The original browser game is by Elias Furst.
