Word list
The 2,398 Poople words that reach POOP
Updated September 30, 2026
The client ships a longer frequency list of 2,749 four-letter strings. Only 2,398 of them sit in the connected group that can reach POOP. That count matches the dictionary size described on the public guide. [2, 4]

- Inside the 2,398 [2]
I filtered the client list down to words that can actually touch POOP through one-letter steps. The remainder was 2,398. SLIP is in that set, so I will not repeat the rumor that the game has no path for it. If a live guess still says "Not in word list," tell me at the contact address and I will re-extract the bundle. [1, 2]
How a word qualifies
A step is legal when exactly one letter changes and both words are in the set. The set is the component containing POOP, not every four-letter string in English. [2]
