Why Poople Unlimited

💩 Silly on top, sharp underneath

The goal is always POOP — and that's the joke. The puzzle underneath is a real word ladder: find the shortest chain of real words, and learn a few new ones on the way.

🗓️ One ladder a day, for everyone

A new puzzle at midnight, the same for every player. Solve it to grow your streak, see how your guess count stacks up against the best solution, and read yesterday's shortest path.

∞ Don't wait for tomorrow

Unlimited mode deals over a thousand more ladders in Easy, Medium and Hard, with their own stats. Custom Goal lets you pick any four-letter word as the finish line instead of POOP.

📅 90 days of past puzzles

Missed a day? The archive opens with three months of ladders from day one. The most recent week is free; older days unlock with a short ad or with Premium.

📤 Share the ladder, not the answer

Every daily puzzle gives you a result card and an emoji grid that shows your path without revealing your words. Post it and challenge your friends to beat your count.

🏅 Track your journey

Wins, average extra guesses, current and best streak, a guess distribution chart, and thirteen achievements to earn — from your First Poop to a Monthly Habit.

📖 A dictionary that plays fair

Over 3,000 four-letter words are accepted, so the word you know will count. Undo is free, and hints are there when you want them.

💳 One purchase, no subscription

Free to play with a small banner. A single one-time purchase removes all ads, opens the full archive, gives you hints without watching ads, and unlocks Custom Goal. Pay once, keep it forever.

✈️ Works anywhere

Fully offline, no account. Play on iPhone or iPad, with a hardware keyboard if you like. Light and dark modes, plus sound and haptics you can switch off.

No account, local first

The app requires no account and no sign-in. Your puzzle progress, statistics, streaks, achievements and settings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us.

Advertising

The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads you can choose to watch to get a hint or unlock an archive day, and occasional interstitial ads between puzzles. If you grant the iOS tracking permission, AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier to show more relevant ads; if you decline, ads are shown without tracking. See Google's Privacy Policy for details. Purchasing Premium removes all advertising from the app.

Analytics

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (for example, which screens are used and how often the app crashes). This helps us improve the app and is not used to identify you.

Purchases

Premium is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase processed entirely by Apple. We never see or store your payment information.

Children

The app is a general-audience word game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
