About Poople
Poople is a daily word puzzle game where you have to turn a 4-letter word into “POOP” by changing one letter at a time. Every turn has to be a legitimate English word, so you have to know your vocabulary and use logical reasoning to figure out the right sequence.

- Try to find the shortest path: it's not so much about solving the puzzle; it’s about solving it in the fewest number of steps.

How to play Poople
Change a letter
Start with the word provided, then type a new 4-letter word that differs from the previous by only one letter. The new word must be valid and accepted by the game.
Example:
YARD → WARD → WORD → WOOD → WOOL → POOL → POOP
You are allowed to change exactly one letter when moving to the next word.
Find the way TO POOP
Not all valid words will move you toward the goal. Pick words that open up multiple possibilities for the future, rather than simply choosing the first one that occurs to you.
Try to have less steps
Poople prompts players to find the shortest path. When you finish the puzzle, you can go back and see if you can remove any unnecessary steps from your string of words.
Play a new puzzle daily
You get a different starting word each day. The word you are trying to get is POOP. So you have to come up with a new sequence of words every time, rather than just remembering a previous solution.

Poople Tips

- Prioritize common words, as they often offer more potential connections.
- After completing a puzzle, try to find a shorter path.
