Thinking backward from POOP
Poople is a word ladder. You start with a random four letter word and change one letter at a time, making a real word every step, until you reach POOP. Fewer steps is better. The easiest way to plan is to work backward from the end.
Words one step from POOP
These all sit one letter away from POOP, so reaching any of them means you are one move from the finish.
- HOOP, LOOP and COOP change the first letter.
- PLOP and PROP change the second letter.
- POMP changes the third letter.
- POOL, POOH and POOF change the last letter.
Getting there from the start word
Look at your start word and ask which of its letters already match P, O, O or P in the same spot. Keep those and change the others one at a time toward one of the words above.
