About Poople Archive

An independent companion

Poople Archive is an unofficial fan project for people who enjoy four-letter word ladders. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by poople.io. Our playable interface and search tools are independently built.

Where the data comes from

Daily starting words are entered from publicly available daily records. Puzzle numbers follow the daily calendar. We compute par and complete routes independently with breadth-first search over our 2,398-word list. The same list validates moves here and powers the Solver.

Our vocabulary may differ from the official game's list. “Not in our word list” does not mean a word is invalid English. Our par is the shortest distance in our list, not a claim about an official score.

Some puzzles have several equally short routes. We show the one our BFS returns, using a fixed alphabetical tie-break.

Play without spoilers

The daily starting word can be played here while the puzzle is live. We do not reveal its par or answer until its 08:00 UTC window has ended and the archive has rebuilt. Unlimited rounds are independent practice puzzles, not official daily puzzles. Scores are stored only on your device and are not submitted to the official game.
