Questions, answered
How the ladder works.
How do I play poople?
Start with the four-letter word on the board. Enter a valid four-letter word that changes exactly one letter from the previous word, then continue until you reach POOP.
Can I get a poople hint?
Yes. Tap Get a hint for the shortest remaining distance, then tap it again to reveal a suggested next word on a shortest route.
What makes a move valid?
The new entry must be four letters, appear in poople's word list, and differ from the previous entry in exactly one position.
How is the score calculated?
Every accepted word after the start counts as one move. The par is the shortest path through the word graph. Finishing at par is a perfect solve.
