About Poople #281

Poople #281 was the daily puzzle at poople.io on Saturday, May 23, 2026 (a new one starts every day at 08:00 UTC). It starts from SHIM, and the fewest guesses that can reach POOP is 5: that's par, about as short as a Poople ladder gets. There are 5 different shortest ladders, so more than one route gets you par. This replay uses the same word list as the original game.
