A little friendly wordplay.

Choose a starting word, find your route to POOP, and send the same puzzle to a friend. No accounts. Just a link and a little competition.

Build your challenge

A familiar word can lead somewhere unexpected.

Same start. Different routes.

  1. Choose your word. We check that it has a route to POOP.
  2. Play your ladder. Save your first result with a nickname.
  3. Send the link. Your friend gets the same puzzle and can compare moves, time and assistance.

Independent results appear before assisted results, then fewer moves come first. Time breaks ties. These are friendly scores: play time and assistance are self-reported.

Already finished a daily or practice puzzle? Create a challenge straight from your result to bring that score along.

One letter. One step closer.

Turn the starting word into POOP. Change exactly one letter each time and make a real four-letter word.

COOK → COOP → POOP

That’s two moves. Aim for the shortest path, or take your own way there.
