How the Poople Solver Works
The Poople Solver checks the current game dictionary for the fewest one-letter changes needed to reach POOP. It suggests a move that keeps you on a shortest route. Other legal moves can take longer or send you down a branch where the only way forward is to backtrack.
Enter the last word the board accepted. If you have already taken three moves, the Solver gives you the shortest route from your current position. Add those remaining moves to the three you already used to estimate your final score. To check the original puzzle from scratch, enter its starting word instead.

DOOR: start with a quick hint
Enter DOOR and choose Get hint. The suggested word is POOR, which changes only the first letter. At that point, you can go back to the board and work out the last move yourself.
Show the two-move example
- DOOR
- POOR
- POOP
FOOL: see the shortest route
Enter FOOL and choose Reveal shortest route after getting the hint. The route starts with POOL. A word such as FOOD is also a valid next move from FOOL, but it does not give you that two-move finish.

- FOOL
- POOL

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my word invalid in the Poople Solver?
Enter four letters from A to Z. The solver checks the current Poople dictionary, which may exclude a name, an abbreviation, or a word accepted by another game. Enter the last accepted word on your board if your latest guess was rejected.
How many moves do I need to reach POOP?
It depends on the word you enter. POOL takes one move and DOOR takes two. A difference of two letters means at least two moves, but some words need a detour because the intermediate words must also be in the dictionary. The Solver counts the actual shortest route when one exists.
Can I see just one hint without the full solution?
Yes. Get hint recommends a single next word and also lists legal alternatives. Leave Reveal shortest route closed to continue solving from that one step. You can enter a new current word at any point.
Can a valid word have no route to POOP?
Yes. For example, AWOL has a legal move to AWDL, but that pair has no route to POOP in the current dictionary. The solver can show an available move while reporting that there is no complete route.
