Home / Poople guides / poople hint
Use the built-in poople hint to see the remaining distance and reveal the next move only when you need it.
The poople hint is progressive: the first hint tells you how many shortest-route moves remain, and the second hint suggests a valid next word. Hints do not add moves to your score.
Hint 1 gives you direction without giving away the word: it shows the shortest distance from your current word to POOP.
Hint 2 reveals one suggested next word that stays on a shortest route. After you move, the hint resets for the new position.
Use a hint when you have explored the obvious vowel change, when you are circling between similar words, or when you want to keep a daily streak moving. You can still aim for par after using it.
