Unlimited ladders to POOP
Example start BIOS. Par 3.
Today’s daily puzzle is #001, start ALOE, par 4. The path stays on the daily board.
Easy starts are 3 or 4 steps from POOP, medium starts are 5 or 6, and hard starts are 7 or more. Those bands are the measured distances in the built graph. A new puzzle stays in the pool you picked. Nothing you finish here changes the daily streak. The daily game is separate, and the worksheets use their own goals.
Now playing BIOS to POOP. Par 3. Unlimited does not change the daily streak.
FAQ
What is Unlimited?
Unlimited is extra ladders to POOP. Easy starts are 3 or 4 steps from POOP, medium starts are 5 or 6, and hard starts are 7 or more. Those distances come from the built word graph.
Does Unlimited count toward my streak?
No. Only a finished daily puzzle on its game date changes the streak, games played, best steps, and step distribution.
Why does the page show one example before I pick a level?
The example is a real easy ladder from the pool, with its start and par printed in the page. New puzzles replace it in the board and still come from that same pool.
Are the levels random each refresh?
A new puzzle is chosen by a counter in this browser modulo the size of the level’s pool. The same counter produces the same start. Nothing is searched at play time.
Can a hard puzzle be shorter than seven steps?
No. Hard starts are words whose shortest path to POOP is at least seven steps. If you take a longer route, the step count rises and par stays the shortest length.
What word list is this?
Poopleword chose SCOWL english and american lists through size 60, then kept the four-letter words that can reach POOP. Proper-name lists, abbreviation lists, and sizes 70 and above are not used. Daily published paths stay inside size 50 so the ladder is readable. Sizes 55 and 60 remain legal plays. Par is only this list. It is not poople.io’s dictionary.
Can I get a hint in Unlimited?
Three presses give a count, then the position that changes, then only the first letter. The rest of the next word stays hidden.
