I had seen the name spelled poopl, poopel, and pooople in search suggestions. The board I opened was poople.io, puzzle #411, start word PAIN. The App Store listing under the same name is from Elias Furst. [1, 5]

this game is SO HARD. Poople Daily Word Game Challenge Versus @Tyresenope. Loads from YouTube only after you press play.

Dates I will and will not assert

An iTunes lookup on September 30, 2026 shows the iOS app released September 16, 2025, version 1.0.5, with that version dated October 9, 2025. The listing rating was about 3.3 from 33 ratings. [5]

Puzzle numbers in the client run much earlier than that App Store date. Counting back from published #410 on September 28, 2026 puts puzzle #1 on August 15, 2025. I treat that as the daily-slot calendar, not as a second release announcement. [2, 3]
