Terms of Service

Updated November 1, 2026.

Independent, unofficial service

Poople Archive is an unofficial companion and fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by poople.io. Using this site does not create an account or submit scores to the official game.

Puzzle data and shortest routes

Starting words come from public daily records. We independently calculate par and paths using breadth-first search over our own word list. Our list, accepted moves and route lengths may differ from the official game; we do not guarantee a match.

Some puzzles have several equally short routes. We show the one our BFS returns, using a fixed alphabetical tie-break. For an unchanged word list and starting word, the same route is returned on every build. Players may complete any legal route, including a different equally short one.

Permitted use

You may use the site for personal reading and play. Automated scraping, bulk extraction and republication of site content are prohibited without prior written permission, except where applicable law permits them. Ordinary search-engine indexing is permitted. Do not disrupt the site, attempt unauthorized access or misrepresent our content as official.

Provided as is

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without guarantees of accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability or suitability for a particular purpose. We may correct records or change features. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties and liability for losses arising from use of the site. Nothing here excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

Privacy, cookies and third parties

The site currently uses local browser storage for daily progress and cookie-free Cloudflare analytics. Application cookies and third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, are not currently enabled. If advertising is introduced, cookies and consent choices will be described before activation in our Privacy Policy. That policy explains user data, deletion and opt-out options.

Questions and corrections

For data corrections, permission requests, copyright concerns or questions about these terms, email contact@pooplearchive.com or visit Contact. We generally reply within three business days.
