What Is Poople?
Poople is a free daily word ladder game that starts you off with a four-letter word and ends with POOP. The rules are simple: change one letter at a time until the word POOP is formed. Besides this, players cannot make any other changes. Naturally, the resulting word must be a valid one.
Poople is quick to learn but can become surprisingly tricky when you need to find a short path. A new challenge goes live every day at 08:00 UTC, and everyone receives the same puzzle. Step into the challenge now right in your browser without downloading or installing.
A Guide to Playing Poople
Every puzzle begins with a four-letter word and has one simple goal: get to POOP in as few moves as you can.
Create Your Word Ladder
In every move, change only one letter in your word. You cannot add, remove, or rearrange letters. Every word you enter must be valid.
For example, a move like BARN → BORN is legal because it changes just one letter. Continue constructing the chain until you get to POOP.
Locate the Least Lengthy Route
Simply reaching POOP is not the only challenge. Poople also rewards an efficient route. Every puzzle has a shortest possible solution called par, and your result is based on how many steps you use compared with that path.
If you reach POOP in par, you have found the shortest possible route. Taking extra steps still lets you solve the puzzle, but they count against your score.
