Example
Hints for the DRIP Poople
Here are hints for a Poople that starts at DRIP. The shortest route we found takes 3 steps. Open the hints one at a time if you only need a nudge, or jump straight to the full path.
Hint 1: how long
The shortest route has 3 steps.
Hint 2: where to start
Your first change is the third letter of DRIP.
Hint 3: the first word
The first word after DRIP starts with “D” and ends with “P”.
The full answer: shortest path
Starting at DRIP, the shortest route we found to POOP takes 3 steps:
DRIP → DROP → PROP → POOP
How hard is this Poople?
A middling puzzle: a few openings lead nowhere. Four words are one letter away from DRIP, and one of them starts a shortest route. There is exactly one shortest route in our word list, so there is only one way to get par.
We compute routes with our own word list, so poople.io may accept a few words we don’t, and its shortest route can differ from ours by a step. If a word is refused there, try another route from the list.
How the Poople answer helper works
Poople gives everyone the same starting word each day. Instead of posting a list of answers, which would spoil the game before you play it, this page lets you type the word you were given and shows how to reach POOP. The hints come in four steps, from a gentle nudge to the whole path, so you can stop as soon as you are unstuck.
The routes come from the same search as our word ladder solver, which also works for any other pair of words. If you would rather play a puzzle that is all ours, try The Poople Daily orPoople Unlimited.
Questions
Where do I find today’s starting word?
It is the word at the top of the board when you open the game at poople.io. It changes every day.
Is this the official Poople answer?
No. The Poople Daily is independent and not affiliated with poople.io. We work out a shortest route from the word you give us, using our own word list.
Why is my route different from yours?
Word lists differ. If the game accepts a word we don’t have, its shortest route can be a step shorter than ours. The helper lists several routes so you can pick one the game will take.
Do you post every day’s answer?
No, and that is on purpose. You type the word you were given, so you only see what you ask for and nothing is spoiled in advance.
